Who is stronger Lute or Vaggie?

Personally I'm gonna go ahead and say Lute is stronger than Vaggie. 'But they fought and Vaggie beat her-' yeah no one cares, lemme explain.

So basically I know that the angels are meant to be kinda bad fighters because yknow they don't arm themselves properly and stuff and they don't defend as well and you can strike them easily from there but uh...

while I don't doubt that this is the case with other angles its pretty damn clear that it isn't the case with Lute.

Lute attacks Vaggie aggressively and when she first attacks her she goes straight for her eye like she said she would. Not to mention but Vaggie does try and defend against her. Of course this is all kinda unfair towards Vaggie since well she is defending and apparently angels aren't good at defending but you also have to keep in mind that Carmilla trained her so... yeah- sorry.

not to mention the fact that she isn't totally helpless as we see Lute lunge at her trying to attack and Vaggie grab her arm most likely trying to throw her to the ground. But as we see in this next very weirdly timed screenshot I took Lute easily counters this attack. She doesn't hesitate to fly up and slam Vaggie into the ground.

That is impressive. Especially since it's hard to react that fast with a move that effective. Most people even when fighting for a while wouldn't think of that because when you're in hand to hand combat with someone every decision you make is in the moment. Especially in such a fast paced battle like this one.

Another thing would be her notice of the piece of glass that Vaggie held. She had basically a few frames (from what ive seen) to see that and grab it trying to stab Vaggie. That being said though she puts all of her weight and force on it causing Vaggie to easily overpower her and use her own force against you. Remember when fighting you don't put all of your weight/force into one move, it can be easily used against you and yeah, its gonna suck.

We see that here when Lute is in a very bad position, but not for long as it seems that Vaggie might've also made the same mistake and used it. Not to mention that she appears to be standing here and having bad frame as she is bent over. When fighting in a position like this you typically wanna stay tall with your chest since it'll be hard to do what Lute does next which is throw you over.

And we see that Lute does in fact do this with what seems to be little to no struggle. Not to mention that Vaggie didn't have the upper hand for very long. She had it for like a frame in the animation so yeah.

Vaggie does react quickly in this scene though so thats nice :)

Not to mention she's just been thrown to the ground and had to get up and regain posture so thats cool :D

We then see Lute quickly back away though which is also a good move and is kinda a defense I wanna say. She distances herself with her weapon knowing that more distance equals more power but uh yeah she kinda rams it into the wall...

She then leaves her sword (good idea since its proven that she and Vaggie are both quick to react) and goes to instantly tackle Vaggie to the ground instead. I want to point out that this is something that could've been easily avoided on Vaggies part I think. Just take a few steps back or keep some sort of guard up or stance and she easily wouldn't have gotten tackled as easily. But she lets down her guard and well she gets bodyslammed.

Once again Lute uh... uses the environment and slams Vaggies head into a desk... fun. Also Vaggie bleeds gold blood, kinda makes you wonder if she never cut herself on accident before.

Lute lets her guard down though as she goes to search for something to stab Vaggie with and within this time Vaggie finds something to hit her with which is impressive as her eyesight is probably horrible after being slammed into the desk.

In the end we don't see how Vaggie gets to this point but seeing as how they were going before it probably was a long while with a ton of injuries on each side but with Lute most likely having the better position/upper hand in each of the battles as she mostly had it in this fight.

Then in the end Lute stabs Vaggie's hand, she removes the spear and grabs it throwing Lute across and into the rubble (she's pretty damn strong I gotta say).

I'm not gonna count the rubble as fast reaction because Lute was doing a monologue and yknow its not really that impressive in terms of reaction. But it is a good use of surroundings.

But overall in this fight despite Vaggie winning I would still say that Lute is stronger/the better fighter. She let her guard down in a battle she thought that she was already winning but lets be honest, if she didn't she would've killed Vaggie without a doubt it was only when she mentioned Charlie that she actually yknow got Lute.

If she didn't then Vaggie would've been as good as dead.

Overall these two are very good fighters and their fight scene was probably one of my favorites if not my favorite. But in the end I feel like if they were in a sparing match that Lute would win. Honestly she would've/should've won but yknow. Yeah she mentioned Charlie and the power and love and shit :)

lemme know what you think :D

#lute hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel lute #hazbin hotel #hazbin #character study #fighting study #fight scene #character analysis #vaggie hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel vaggie #who is stronger?#im gonna get attacked by the vagige simps for this one #she is a good fighter but just not as strong #plus she was trained by an overlord and still lost so uhh #gonna have to dock some points there #that being said though i would NOT want to fight her #i had too much fun with this #i take a fighting class so this was fun :)

In response to that ask about the amount of Jungkook fics:

With Jungkook I feel like he doesn’t really fit in a mold. He is constantly trying to break barriers as an artist and as a person by trying new things all the time. He doesn’t want to stay in one place and he has so many hobbies and is constantly diversifying himself.

Not to say the other members don’t do that as well but I feel like he just brings us into his life more and so we see it happening all the time. Especially this past year with over 30 lives in his own home showing us who he is and what he does day to day.

I am jk biased I will admit but idk something about him just feels like he can really play any character you want him to.

All of the members grow and change all the time but I feel like Jungkook does it more drastically if that makes sense lol like he’s really quick to just do something because he wants to do it (tattoo, piercing, boxing, motorcycle, etc) he’s essentially making himself into a fanfic version of Jungkook while also being the sweet little bean he is lol

Idk I can gush about him all day but again I’m not trying to bash the other members at all these are just my observations from being an Army for over 5 years lol

i see where ur coming from but i don’t think it has anything to do with their artistry or anything like that. i think all of the members are constantly breaking those barriers. i dont really have any trouble writing any bts member into a role like i could write all of them as boxers or cyclists or teachers or ceos or assholes or nerds

the thing with jungkook is, like u said, he’s actively giving us this content, he’s deadass become the fanfic ver of himself that i’ve seen over the years and its funny how he’ll come on live to say things that we as writers would write in his characters dialogue. i think thats why its so easy for me

and i get it, i can gush all dayyyy😭 i absolutely adore all the members and have for almost 8 years now, i’ve been here for 8/10 festas, i was here to witness them winning their first daesang, i remember creating a twitter account to vote for their first bbma, ive seen them literally grow into the people they are today.

but thats why i also wanna make clear that irl bts =/= fanfic bts. at the end of the day, bts (in my fics) are face and name claims. i don’t want to associate my written bts w the real bts ever, its primarily why i don’t like/will never write idol aus (at least the bts we know them as). thats why i have no trouble writing any of the members in random scenarios or in random roles.

and don’t get me wrong, i definitely have story ideas in which im like “this member would be perfect for this” but thats more so bc of the aura they carry (every bts member has that specific vibe to them you know) but i could just as quickly switch it up with another member

I need to talk about pantalones design because it's been eating at me ever since I started looking into character design language and color theory a bit more (i absolutely dont know everything this is just me rambling to the void because i find it cool), ok so firstly, colors, the majority of his design is made up of purples/blue-ish purples and black, purple is often a color thats associated with royalty (aka really rich people) and it absolutely makes sense that he would want to present himself this way considering his status now (the wealthiest among the harbingers and one of the richest people in teyvat) and his past.

in the words of his fandom wiki page "Pantalone was born into poverty and was never able to receive a vision. This made him question why gods held dominion over so many aspects of life and gave him a deep desire to obtain wealth for himself."

and in the words of pantalone himself "we shall, by whatever means necessary, become the heart that pumps money around the world. and, when the moment comes, that heart shall cease beating by our will alone" it is very clear that he knows his status perfectly, even before he got to where he is now, and him having purple all over his design is making sure everyone around him (including players) also understand his status and know just how wealthy he is.

straying away from his clothes a bit and talking about his eyes, ive seen it in the hoyofair 'house of wolves' animation thing but ive also seen it in fanart and i need to talk about it cause it is eoughg (/pos), so pantalones eyes are usually closed (something i could absolutely talk about more but for the sake of this not being 10 pages long ill save it for a later date) but people often draw him with his eyes open with eye colors ranging from white to blue to purple, but i specifically want to talk about his eyes being gold.

so firstly (its a bit silly so bear with me) purple clothes, wants to present himself like hes royalty, etc etc we've established this, but something thats a little less obvious (because his eyes are always closed) but says so much character design language wise is his eyes being gold, signifying he only has eyes for money (because, mora, mora is gold, get it) purple is a color often associated with royalty and gold is a color often associated with money. giving him any eye color in fanart is absolutely fine and i love it all regardless but him having golden eyes makes so much sense with his character.

and just color theory wise, yellow and purple are on opposite sides of the color wheel which make them contrasting colors, which look so good if you make most of a characters clothes a darker shade of one and use a very bright and vibrant version of the other color in something small, like the characters eyes or a streak in their hair, it adds such a nice little 'pop' that looks so good on pantalone and i adore it its so pretty on him

#i dont know its just cool to me and i had to talk about it #he also just looks so pretty with bright gold eyes #need me a pretty rich man that understands taxes and will do them for me #genshin pantalone #genshin impact pantalone #pantalone #pantalone genshin #character design #i was listening to 'rest employed' by the stupendium when the urge to talk about his design overtook me

so i've seen this theory that is allegedly going to be confirmed in 3.4 Basically it says that al haitham cannot feel any emotions bc he is the sole survivor/successful case of the greyscale elezar experiments run by dottore and it basically lobotomised him so he doesnt feel emotions and thats why he wants to live a quiet life as a scribe. I say a lot of kaveh/al haitham shippers talking about this on twitter as some kind of win bc aww al haitham let kaveh enter his super controlled life ect ect. 1. idk if this is an outlandish theory that has no chance of becoming canon bc i dont really have a good gage for that kind of thing so if im falling for the bait im sorry 2. I can kind of understand it for story reasons as it makes for a compelling relationship between al haitham and dottore and by extension the akademyia for allowing dottore back BUT 3. I feel really sad bc it means all that autistic coding was a concious effort to make the character LITERally unfeeling. It means all those traits I recognised in myself and in him are the result of him missing something, being less, ect. and it kinda hurts. Like obvs i never expected hoyo to come out and make him autistic in canon but it just feels like another autistic coded character that is coded that way because they are missing something fundamentally human. Whether thats an android, alien, puppet ect. Idk you are one of the few people on here ive seen talk about al haitham being autistic coded so i wanted to get your thoughts -@under-wcrlds

ahahahahahha

Yeah. (Genshin talk start at paragraph 4)

I've actually mentioned in a previous post that I don't want Al Haitham to be any kind of inhuman character because he's so humanity autistic. Like in particular, he feels a lot like my brand of autism. Because here is the thing. I'm not academically gifted. But I'm incredible with patterns. I'm very good at seeing the patterns of life and being able to predict on only people's responses but emotional responses without knowing them. And I have the same goals as Al Haitham. I want to live a simple and comfy life. Do no more work than needed, and then do what interests me. I have also turned down big leadership positions because that's not what I want to do.

And guess what. I'm a real fucking person. Yeah, I've been through some shit. But that didn't make me this way, and everyone goes through it at one point or another.

But I've always been like this. Fuck, my mom had me (at a young age) start packing the car on trips because I could just see where everything was supposed to be. I was never one who could express my emotions well. I still struggle with that, and I feel a lot of the time, I come across as a know-it-all? And attention-hogging because I just talk in a sort of weird antidotal way.

This also makes me a good storyteller because I can give a more natural flow of events. So let me country why I don't think this theory is gonna be correct.

in the 3.2 stories. Al Haitham did say he understands and knows the importance of emotions and makes it clear that he's not really the type who is good a motivating people through emotion. Never did he make any reference to not being able to feel them. Fuck I'd argue he'd have to have them to understand what the mad Scholars were feeling to imitate them as well as he did.

Also, there isn't really a reason to re-pick up the elezar plotline, as it has been pretty solidly dealt with. Like it's gone, there's no reason to look more into it. We know what causes it and what cured it. Like if they are to bring Dottore up again, it will be for another story and another experiment. Also, Dottore isn't the type to pick up something again once his interest in it is gone. Heck, look at Scaramouch. Plus, Dottore had Collie. Like that's confirmed. And seemingly, Dottore knew how to keep elezar at bay. So there wouldn't be much reason for him to expand experimentation. Let long a reason to make someone stop feeling emotions.

The TDLR is that there really wouldn't be many benefits for Dottore if this was the case, and that feels outta character. Also, we don't know Al Haitham's timeline, just that he graduated, which apparently is really hard to do and takes a lot of time.

And a point that's just hit me.

LISA WANTS TO LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE. And She's objectively waaaaaay smarter than Al Haitham is. So again, it's not a good reason?

Idk man. I'm a little heated under the collar because I HATE when people try and make an autistic-coded character nonhuman. Because I'm a human.

#You guys know how larry in pokemon? Is just a dude?#why can't we have that with autistic characters?#al haitham #? yeah that guys just a dude #a normal dude #who's brain just happens to work a little different #al haitham headcanons #al haitham genshin #i know it's a bit weird but I really do just start feeling #when other people are in a mood

What theories do you got for the end of season 2?

hii 🫶🏾

sorry i’m so late with this. i haven't been online too much lately. So theories??? man i’m not really engaging with much speculation as far as S2 goes. mainly bc i don’t think i have the ideas that will happen how my mind is formulating them. also bc they would be based off of nothing but what ive seen said about the books and vibes i got from S1 lmao. i’m so sorry if i disappoint you my ideas. here’s what i hope…

S2 will focus on loumand in the past and in the present maybe Armand might get to contribute to the telling of things. I’m very fucking excited for loumand. Idk how to not lose my mind about this! it’ll be interesting to me if there’s points of contention between how louis remembers something and how he does. what happened to Claudia and how coming out in this contention would be really fun to watch. “the love of my life” seems to be something that’s gonna come undone next season. seeing how they came together. seeing what makes their relationship tick. seeing the cracks in what their dynamic is now. seeing how Daniel’s tendency to be provocative and rude when he feels endangered will impact things or how it will shift now that he knows Rashid is actually Armand—now that he realizes he’s been talking to an even stronger vampire crazy out the side of his neck. and he’s greatly out numbered rn. i want to see if Daniel tries to run and leave and how they might convince him to stay or if he decides to stay what lends to that decision. the book? answers that he wants? im sure it’ll be many things.

I wonder if they will put off the hows of how Lestat finds his way to Paris since no one but him would really have all that information. I think with seeing Sam and Assad hanging out off set there will be some Armand/Lestat scene to look forward too. they’re gonna fight and its gonna be nasty and full of tension and armand longing for lestat while lestat longs for louis and he’s [lestat] gonna get that look in his eye were he agrees to something he know damn well he shouldnt in the name of saving louis. its gonna be delicious. Im excited to see that.

I hope we only really get hints of the devil’s minion stuff and i hope a good chunk of most of it happens in the modern day so they can have lots to fill coming seasons with. i want S2 to be more about loumand anyways. THO i do want them to put the fear of the devil into that man. I want him to really come to terms with what the fuck situation he’s in and I want Louis and Armand to make him feel it for real. I want the cracks in his dynamic with them and his supposed superior morality to start to show.

I think the situation with Louis might make Claudia desperate for another connection by the time it’s clear Louis is stuck in the past and longing for Lestat. Her hatred for him i think is soemthing we’ll see develop in it’s fullness. i hope she’s just as petty as she’s been. there wa a post about her playing piano and playing bach even tho she knows it torment him. i love that post. i wish i had it in me to find it. that post is genius. but yeah so i think she’d even accept the mother like way Madeleine treats her even tho she’s been looking to be treated like an equal bc anything is better than where they find themselves in terms of being stuck together after all thats happened and the spector of him choking her and lestat being spared because of him always looming over them. i think that adds to the sheer sadness of her situation. the living truth that yeah lestat is alive and louis would have him even now. and then the realization that he would also have armand who wants her dead clearly. i think someone who seems to “see her” would be preferable. but bc i know this is the painshow i cant say that they’re dynamic won’t be hard to watch. i think it will. I think madeleine will be working out her own trauma in losing her family on Claudia and it’ll be really clear that Claudia will always be choosing the lesser of an evil. i think they’ll play with our minds and hearts about what they could be, but ultimately they’re doomed and she’ll still wind up dead. and apparently so does madeleine even after being turned soo.. yeah i’m about to be heart shattered behind claudia.

sorry if these are disappointing. but yeah that’s as far as i’ve got. tho i’m sure i’ll think of something else and make a post about it. but i havent really wanted to speculate too much on S2 beyond being horny about loumand. maybe we’ll see their dungeon!

#iwtv #s2 speculations #louis de pointe du lac #armand #claudia #lestat de lioncourt #madeleine

Aaan we're back with ep 4. John heavy ep 4. This will be a lot,but I actually dont want to focus on John with it. I will reference to him because he's literally going through an episode long ptsd attack and there's a lot to discuss with that, but there are so many other interesting facets about this episode. We also get kyle here.

But sure let's discuss John 1st tho. So his response to dealing with his ptsd flashbacks is distracting it with violence. Now i do want to make something clear here. I dont think necessarily that chanelling his very complicated emotions into action is bad per se here, if this was productive tho. But with John, unlike several othera ih this episode like Mary and Carlos, he isn't productive about it. For Mary we see that she is chanelling her own complicated emotions into training and getting John to partake, but it only slightly works. Same with Carlos, they focus their own issues into their hunting. John however does not. He tries to let it out through hunting, but really qhat works is just punching something as seen in the bathroom. Its not about chanelling it into something, but just violence qhich is why his hands no longer shake after punching the dispenser even tho all that action is is destructive. He also is very much either unaware of or actively ignoring his limits, because he's given several outs before getting himself in the group session and severely triggered. Mary alone gives him at least 2 or 3 outs. But she, like everyone, assumes he can make his own choices and can handle himself so when he saya he's good, then they trust it. Which isnt an issue, they are right to trust him on his own limits. But he very much isnt listening to them.

Now lets talk Carlos a bit, because we have some fun stuff for him too. 1stly we find out he was navy medic. That alone tells me some stuff and also very much reminds me of Dean in Pac-Man Fever. But it also firmly speaks back.to what we've been seeing from Carlos the past 3 episodes. Ive been mentioning that theue role in ep 1-3 was more support, was thw one in the background, doing the job, efficiently, not in the foreground as a soldier, but nonetheless vital. The fact thay they were medic makes perfect sense in this context, because as medic the goal was to ensure the frontline fighters were able and ready to jump back in and thay was what Carlos has been doing the past few episode. Then we have the story during group therapy that slots into place the ways he's been supporting everyone. Because while John is deing with severe survivors guilt and an exacerbated sense of responsibility which imo is why its much easier for him to have a black and white view of the situation, Carlos could've had the same issue, especially as a medic where, unlike John's self imposed responsibility, ut was literally their job to keep people alive and certainly couldn't through their time serving, not everyone. And even then, Carlos' takeaway wasn't to demonize the other side who was responsible for the people Carlos was in charge of saving ending up under their care, but rather saw the enemy and understood clearly that they too likely got pulled into this war against their wishes for some, lost people and experience the horror.and loss that the war brought same as Carlos. That speaks to a high level of empathy, something we've already seen Carlos display the first 3 episode but it makes it even clearer here that its a trait they've had foe a long long time and its one thats been honed and tested.

Then we have Mary and Lata, both of whom are dealing with the loss of Maggie and what effects this had on them. So if for John and Carlos we have the magnitude of war combined with personal loss, for Mary and Lata we have the very personal loss of Maggie reflected through the magnitude of hunting life. Which is why I think the episode has Carols and John confrunting (for better or worse) their loss in a group setting while Mary and Lata are in a one on ine scenario either just by themselves or talking to a singular person (Kyle). And why their confruntation of the loss happens in a quieter way via going to Maggies room and acknowledging that loss properly and thus reconnecting with who Maggie was, to them, and remembering her and understanding her which in turn leads to them understaning themselves a bit.

A quick line about Millie here. I think "her words are cheap, actions speak louder" attitude isnt necessarily a problem per se, the issue is that that saying refers to words are cheap if your actions dont match them, not that you shouldn't talk about things. And thats where the issue lands, because Millies actions have actually been kinda counter to her words and not in a good way the last few episode because she's said things that were a problem and acted correctly and did things that were a problem and said the correct thing, but til now its very rarely been actions matching her words. This ep is actually where we start seeing the shift into a Millie that us more aligned in her meanings. Having her verbally be there for John and the physically as well at the end of the episode. It's not perfect, both her actions ans words are both flawed this episode in various moments, but they are aligned.

And finally Mars Neto and the fucking sheer amount of Michael parallels/references in this episode. It drives me insane! Its the mention of John's destiny, the fact that Neto uses a spear, thay he wants John to be his own personal human weapon, the fact that Mars Neto isnt even the God of War himself, but rather in Lata's words, based on the Roman God of War, this emulating Mars the way Michael tried to emulate Chuck while ruling Heaven. I just cannot ignore the Michael of it all. And I also cant ignore that the way he dies is heavily reminiscent of how Dean, under the Mark of Cain, another older brother who echoed Michael and who's outright referenced by Neto when speaking of the centuries of blood and violence in John"s blood, killed Abaddon. The violence of it is echoed here and the issue with that violence ia too. Because while killing Neto is a good thing, like killing Abaddon was, the ultimate take from the battle is that John did not do the right thing because of the rage, juat like killing Abaddon spoke of the Marks influence over Dean.

And finally, we have the conclusion, of Mary and Lata starting to heal from their loss in a trubute to Maggie herself, Carlos going to therapy and John, isolating himself with only Millie there to comfort him, but even that is moreso because Millie goes out to search foe him, and not because he seeks out help.

This is a very rough episode to watch for me, for a miryad of reasons, but thats also why it's onw of my favorites too.

See y'all for ep 5.

P.S. The "uncle Samuel scremed at me" in Maggies postcard? Hurt my soul and made say a "fuck Samuel Campbell" and also is a perfect throwaway line in this ep to segway into ep 5 which is a Mary heavy one.

As much as I like cassian/rue as a concept and I really love the friendly exes idea, looking at the comparisons between the RO and Andor beach hugs like... desperately clinging to each other as close as bodies can possibly get vs that half-handshake pat-on-the-back? And like I know part of that is likely the disney toxic-masculinity-no-homo brand, but it just makes me so sad, like is this really the level of affection Cassian gets from this point on in his life? Obligatory, unthinking gestures? (until he meets Jyn and they survive and have lots of time to cuddle, obviously, but some folks don't know about that part lol)

in all seriousness I don't actually think rue and cass were ever ever ever considered by the writers to be anything more than friends, they can prove me wrong I'd be down with that but I think we should be clear when talking about this sort of thing that there are like shoulds and ares. should the writers queer up cass? fuck yes. are they going to? lol no.

is that just disney censorship? honestly I doubt it. I think society at large has a much harder time dealing with bisexuality/queerness that isn't binary than it does sexuality that is binary. it comes out differently for women and femmes than it does for men and mascs (let alone people who don't subscribe to any of those genders).

for women and femmes bisexuality and frankly same-gender attraction isn't seen as threatening patriarchy tbh. it's why we get literal gal pal shit from people when it's like, these are two wlw who have been together for decades and have gotten married and are literally fucking in their bed that they own together in their home. it's also why I think society finds it somewhat easier to believe in~~ bisexuality/pansexuality/mspec queer wlw than mlm, although lbr it's still about how the white supremacist patriarchal hegemonic ideal man can access bi wlw and therefore devaluing the wlw-ness of our wlwocity.

whereas mlm are seen as a threat to that patriarchal hegemony, the ideal man or some bullshit, because shock of shocks patriarchy impacts men and mascs negatively as fuck too. men are expected to be hyper ~masculine or whatever the fuck, access women without difficulty while also maintaining stoicism and defeating the (i cannot believe i am saying this mostly unironically) feminine urge to feel thing, to seem gay because that's feminine or whatever lol.

and so bi and mlm who are attracted to more than one gender challenge the very ideal that white supremacist patriarchy is all about. it's why so many women think bi men are automatically gay and just lying about it (well that and individual histories people have with being with men who have been closeted and cheated on them, but that's like not bisexuality that's infidelity).

so the idea that you've got a character who has an extremely important romantic relationship at the end of his life in something written years ago, I'd be shocked if the writers even considered giving cassian a boyfriend just because cassian is attracted to jyn in the film. I'm also sure cassian being a man and the lead means disney might be less cool with him being explicitly queer than say with the wlw side characters, but if we take tony gilroy's word for it, there was never any pushback on them.

as far as cassian not having any real connection until jyn, I'm not sure I agree. his connection with rue (lets make the nickname happen, ive been trying so im happy to see you using it anon) might be platonic but it's canonically important as hell - they are able to read each other well, cassian hears rue in ways melshi isn't used to, and frankly rue picks up on cassian's change in mood even if he doesn't push cass to share with him because cassian isn't ready to share.

it isn't unthinking to me. but like melshi says, they have to spread the message. the rebellion comes first.

I wouldn't be so sure that cassian doesn't have connections with characters, fuck lol kaytoo is coming next season and thats his best friend. but undoubtedly he will become more isolated as he builds a network of recruits and informants who don't know him intimately. and I don't mean sex, I mean deep knowledge of who he is.

but his relationship with jyn has always been fundamental to cassian realizing he doesn't want to go with business as usual, that he doesn't want to assassinate galen (a hope that the rebellion needs to strike against the empire) and that he can fight in the daylight instead of just in the shadows.

but it is tragic that he is so known by so few, and that when he finds someone who he understands and who understands him so well, he fucking gets vaporized lol.

lmao the death star is biphobic for killing him and jyn and making me cry every time I watch rogue one

HELLO

May I request a Hanakou oneshot where Hanako feels insecure about being Kou's boyfriend, thinking he can get something much better so Kou comforts him??

Thank u 🤭

Ah cat ofc

My first hanakou writing (took me while to make that ugly banner)

Daily hanakou🧡❤️

Insecure hanako!

It was a basic day hanako said to himself

Exept he is all alone

In the bathroom

Waiting for the the next day to start so he can see his boyfriend kou again

For some reason this time it felt like a WEEK has passed and not 4hours

So he decided to go take a walk at the garden to clear off his mind

While he was outside he was not able to think straight because all he could think of is kou

He barely started to visit for cleaning duty with yashiro

Because he was too busy hanging with another ghost

Or sometimes he leaves earlier with yashiro to go somewhere fun

He mumbled to himself.

„Ofcourse. Whats so fun in hanging out at school“

Was he not good enough?,was he getting boring? He hopes that this isn’t the case

He wished that he could also go outside with them. To the beach.park.Restaurants.

But he just HAD to be cursed by not being able to leave the school

He didn’t even realize that the sun is starting to rise

He was too deep in his awful thoughts

But after snapping out of it he went back to the school into the girls bathroom

„4 more hours“

It’s Friday so they had a short day today

Just as all the kids started to enter the school he was on his way to greet both of them

He didn’t see yashiro „probably is late“ he thought to himself

But then his eyes landed on kou

He was about to approach him until he saw him

Mitsuba. One of kou‘s friends

Guess he was faster than him..

Not wanting to „disturb“ these two he decided that he should go.

„2 more hours….should i?“

He was unsure if he should go visit kou

He did miss him so he went

„You’ve got to be kidding me“

Why is He there again.

He is so damn CLINGY

He didn’t try to make a move on kou though right?

A small panic ran through his mind

And without thinking straight he just went up to these two

They both look at hanako

„Oh hanako! How are you? Ive missed you!“

Mitsuba just stayed quiet not wanting to say anything to the other ghost

Missed him huh? If he really did then he wouldn’t have avoided him so much

„Uhm yeah hey kou.im ok.ive missed you too„

„Oh by the way is it okay if we won’t do the cleaning duty today? Me and yashiro promised to meet up at her place today“

Again?.

How long will this all keep going?!!?

„Ah well can’t you like dunno skip it on another day? You know its very VEEERRRY lonely being allllll alone here~“

„Oh come on you wont die from boredom. And besides its pretty important to me.“

„Fine fine. I have to talk to you later anyway. So I’ll see you at lunch“

„A-actually i promised to go take pictures with mitsuba at lunchtime“

Hearing that made hanako snap on the inside

He quickly turned around to the pink ghost giving him a death glare

„Is that so?…“

„I-I UHM ACTUALLY HAVE SOME THINGS TO DO dont hurt me SO SORRY KOU WE CANT MEET UP UHM BYE“

This sudden reaction made kou startle a little

„uhm bye? See you.“

„Soooooooo still busy?????“

„Well not anymore hah“

„GREAT“

He hugged kou tightly happy that he can spend time with him

This made kou blush a little by his sudden hug but he still hugged back

„Can you let go? People are starting to look weirdly at me“

„Just five more minutes❤️“

As expected kou went to the bathroom to meet up with hanako

Just as he entered he was already greeted with a kiss on his cheek

„Hahha you should’ve seen your face!“

He was right kou‘s face looked super funny. He was red like a tomato!

„YOU DAMN BASTARDS THATS CHEATING“

„Nope. No it wasn’t ~“

Kou just mumbled some light hearted curse words while hanako was laughing

„ hahahh…ah Ive missed this“

„What do you mean by that?“

Crap

Hanako frowned and took kou‘s hand

„Listen this might sound selfish from me but…“

Kou was feeling intense at this moment

„I’ve been feeling as if im not good enough for you“

Ok help the poor boy he is about to have a Heart attack

„Maybe you should find someone e-„

Kou quickly grabbed hanako‘s other hand

„DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT“

Hanako was taken back by his sudden rising voice

„Hanako.you mean a lot to me.i don’t know what made you feel that you aren’t good enough but i will do my best to make you never EVER feel like that“

These words almost made hanako tear up

„Its just. Why would you be with someone who can’t even leave the school“

Kou just suddenly hugged hanako

„I understand what you mean.mitsuba also told me how much this suck-…no this is isnt about him right now.“

He pushed hanako slightly to look him in the eyes

„always stuck to the school or not.i dont care.ghost or human.i dont care. Ive fallen for your personality.and all the adventures we’ve had“

„I love you and only you hanako“

Hanako was speechless

„He just hugged him back but this time more tightly

„I know idiot.i love you too“

Thank you for your request! Hope i left you satisfied as always! Please visit again <3

If I may, #1 ("Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?" - I am more and more curious about the technobabble you've been posting, haha), #3 ("What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need?") and #18 ("Do any of your stories have alternative versions? [...] Tell us about them.")

1."Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?"

current project is a thasmissy fic (wait do people even know that portmanteau? ive just been using it. yaz/13/missy) set between revolution and flux. it's basically vault times but with 13 and yaz instead of 12 and bill. it's about coming to terms with trauma and coming to terms with your sexuality i think most concisely put. or in other words i think ive put it like it's about "the things we dont want to touch and the things we DO want to touch". heres the video i made of it last year for anyone who hasnt seen it:

youtube

this video took a full month to make and drove me almost insane which makes sense bc editing this fic rn is driving me again insane. just need to finish two more scenes. one of which is the technobabble

it's really fun to do but also takes soooo much time. my favourite tardis wiki page is the tardis components one so im on that a lot, and then ive got a thousand wikipedia pages open about philosophical, linguistic and mathematical concepts and then i try to put words together in a way thats at least superficially a little bit convincing

it's completely incoherent of course but it sounds fun. my browser history looks like this now:

no idea what any of those things actually are <3

3 "What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need?"

honestly i dont think i have a lot of those? i think generally my writing process is just that i write the scene i want to write, and either that turns into the whole fic, or i combine it with other scenes i wanted to write and shuffle then all around for a long time until it resembles something like a story. who needs set up? just jump into the medias of res babey

18 "Do any of your stories have alternative versions? […] Tell us about them."

full stories probably not or maybe there were but i dont remember now. but theres a lot of scenes with alternative versions in this thasmissy fic bc i had to puzzle and recut and rewrite a lot until it made the least bit of sense due to aforementioned "shuffle around until it resembles a story" approach

theres one scene where there was a really clear fork in the road where first i went down one route and then i was like 'oh no i cant do this, it breaks the relationship beyond what i want it to' so i had to go back and take the other path. im still fond of that alternative scene because it was also an interesting one i think

it's a scene between yaz and missy and in the cut version yaz said/did something that sort of cemented their dynamic as an echo of what my interpretation is of vault times thoschei, ie that the doctor keeps the master trapped. half physically half emotionally. because i think the master could leave, the vault or 13's tardis in this fic, but emotionally it's more complicated than that. the power the doctor has over them is that they want the doctor's love, especially missy is super overtly driven by that. the master always is but missy is unashamed and almost unresentful of it i think. missy will say "love me" out loud, basically. "i need my friend back" you know?

and what i had yaz do put missy in that same kind of position she is wrt the doctor. and they both immediately realised that and missy was like "youre just like her" and yaz was like "oh shit i fucked up". it's an interesting scene i think because being like the doctor is what yaz wants, right? and being like the doctor is why missy is drawn to her. but yaz doesnt want to replicate the relationship dynamic of the doctor and the master. she wants to be like the doctor but she also has that I Can Fix Her instinct. and i think with missy that is way more important because missy doesnt need another doctor (even though she also wouldnt be interested in someone who wasnt a little bit the doctor, you know? hi clara. i think 12/missy/clara and 13/dhawan/yaz are like two sides of the same coin. the companion a mirror to both the doctor and the master)

#sorry for Very long answers but thank you for asking <33 #thasmissy

srs22 chiba (tomoe) 6/16 hiru kouen notes (setlist in bold, kaigawari bold + italics)

ooh slightly longer than manba's too

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME TOMOE

tomoe it wasnt your fault last time dont worry about it!!!

hachisuka cameeee

hachisuka and tomoe, the two saddled with the shinsengumi nuisances

hachisuka: tomoegata naginata, im counting on you today

tomoe: to do it with hachisuka kotetsu.... thats really reassuring

hachisuka: what was that?

tomoe (takes step forward): its reassuring to do it with you

hachisuka: im pleased but.... arent you getting a bit close

tomoe (takes step forward): im reassured

hachisuka: why do you keep getting closer.....

tomoe (takes step forward): truly. reassured.

hachisuka: ..... thanks

^ he timed that in such a way that it reminded me of regina george

hachisuka and tomoe remind everyone to applaud etc

then nagasone appears

nagasone: oiii hachisuka, tomoe

hachisuka: what are you doing here.

nagasone: you forgot something

hachisuka: what did i forget?

nagasone: lightsticks! and me! (poses with tomoe and hachisuka's that he brought)

hachisuka: youre embarrassing. i didnt forget. and i didnt call you in the first place.

nagasone: couldnt you just be a little nicer

hachisuka: im always nice-

nagasone: just once! just once! just a little!

hachisuka: absolutely not.

nagasone: pleaseee

hachisuka: ABSOLUTELY NOT

tomoe: are they so close that they quarrel like this?

hachisuka: .......... tomoegata naginata. we are not close.

tomoe: its a lie but he doesnt hesitate to say that... is it because the two of you have a story? thats enviable....

nagasone: its probably exactly that, tomoe

hachisuka: yes. well, thats unpleasant (grabbing the penlight from nagasone and storming off in a huff)

they FINALLY do the penlight instructions after three minutes of arguing

nagasone: you okay over there hachisuka

hachisuka: of course i am.

nagasone: and you tomoe?

tomoe: no

hachisuka: what is it?

tomoe: i want to make more stories with you

hachisuka: from here onwards?

tomoe: thats right.

tomoe takes a step towards nagasone before touching his face

tomoe: whats this?

nagasone: oh, an eyelash

tomoe shows it to hachisuka: whats this

hachisuka: an eyelash?

tomoe: an eyelash

tomoe alternates showing it to each of them while chanting eyelash (matsuge)

tomoe: matsuri......

Not how that works

tomoe: a matsuri.....

nagasone: whats that about

hachisuka: ....its an eyelash?

tomoe: an eyelash is a matsuri

hachisuka: an eyelash is not a matsuri. a matsuri is a matsuri, an eyelash is an eyelash

tomoe: is that so? was this all the information i had to deliver to everyone?

nagasone: yeah

hachisuka: i feel like you only delivered eyelashes, are you ok

tomoe: mm. then, let us meet at the matsuri, not the eyelashes

ooh they used an angle ive never seen before when masakado's boat came out

and also normally they use the camera on konnosuke on the nebuta but this time they used a full stage camera that was nice

wild that on shonichi i only vaguely had a sense hachisuka had a main part when now its clear he very obviously does

i feel there were so many shots on tomoe already

and they used more shots of the side rather than the front so you can see the guys on the floor

free style - formation of paraiso without ookurikara with sohayanotsurugi

sohayanotsurugi was super genki

yurayurara - formation of paraiso without ookurikara with hachisuka

homare-pon to whoever decided to put hachisuka in this song hes so beautiful

maaan this song is stuck in my head now

hachisuka jump again

hyuuga was sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest watching him he was cute

hachisuka said urashima should have a go so he was like yatta!!!!! hachisuka-niichan, we practised doing That thing, lets show them!!

hachisuka: That thing? alright

hachisuka sweeps his hair over one shoulder then bends down

urashima: this is our kotetsu cooperation move!!!

and leapfrogs over hachisuka

urashima: that felt really good but..... there wasnt enough momentum..... thats it! here should be nagasone-niichan underneath and hachisuka-niichan you should jump over him! wouldnt that be cool!!!! you want to see that dont you aruji-san!!

hachisuka was stuck smiling like :) after he said that and urashima was like he stiffened up.....

hyuuga yelled lets do our best!!!!! into hachisuka's ear and that made him soften again

danzen, kimi ni koishiteru - imanotsurugi kogitsunemaru tonbo akashi nagasone nansen hizen

when akashi and tonbo came together with imanotsurugi akashi realised he wasn't making a hand heart like the others so he like? started pointing at his heart as if thats how you do it

akashi was like hunched over walking to the main stage so imanotsurugi ran over to him to power him up

its so funny that by and large other characters are not affected by their personalities during nibu like even ookurikara will join in to dance even if hes scowling but akashi will literally go sit down in the middle of a song

like yeah with ookurikara his personality affects his dancing but akashi’s affects him so much he’ll literally stop

yaaaay akashi hugged imanotsurugi

omae ga shitteiru - formation of kousui without manba with kogitsunemaru

ngl i missed kogitsunemaru during manba's show ....

hizen and nansen immediately exited and re-entered stage i didnt notice last time

ah they gave kogitsunemaru mirage to balance out that he wasnt in omae ga shitteiru anymore during manba

oh situps hizen again

izuminokami: the popular misogi segment is back once again!!!!

kogitsunemaru: anamedetaya!!!!

(ookanehira yelling)

izuminokami: everyone shut up, kogitsunemaru-san what did you say

kogitsunemaru: anamedetaya?

izuminokami: pukupukupuku?

kogitsunemaru: when the danshi were born out of there (gesturing trapdoor), when the new touken were born

ookanehira?: ah you were so happy about the misogi you said anamedetaya

izuminokami: if you neglected your training you have to say sweet words to aruji

ookanehira: theres no way i neglected i wont do it

izuminokami: you will

ookanehira: wont

izuminokami: will

ookanehira: wont

izuminokami: will

ookanehira: wont

izuminokami: will

ookanehira: ok

izuminokami: kogitsunemaru-san, this is....

kogitsunemaru: sanjou rule!

when the drumroll started ookanehira kept saying pukupukupuku

koryuu kept smiling at that

kogitsunemaru: are you about to be born..?

lights stop on ookanehira

ookanehira: hes born! me??

kogitsunemaru: ah he was born. medetaya medetaya

izuminokami: no wonder you didnt want to do it

ookanehira: i had a bad feeling.... i didnt finish training....

ookanehira: seems youve been sick lately. come to me later. ill take care of you

then he does izuminokami's im looking at you gesture while whispering pukupukupuku

koryuu: um i think ookanehira's the one whos been sick

honoo - formation of kokoro oboe

be in sight - kogitsunemaru imanotsurugi samidare kiyomaro nansen ookanehira

yakusoku no sora - formation of kishou without muramasa otegine kotegiri with oodenta suishinshi hizen

dude this song makes me so happy

always marvelling at how hizen arches his back

bruh i just noticed suishinshi has an earring

god its so funny akashi saying something and suishinshi interrupts and akashi's in the background quietly whining hey..

why does spi keep taking his arm in

didnt knock his soundpack this time at least

suishinshi: i wont lose!! i .. eh? shall i str

tonbo: NO

tonbo Picks him up and carries him to the stairs

akashi: suishinshi-han that seems like fun

tsurumaru gives oodenta a mic to beatbox

akashi starts dancing again, tsurumaru goes up to him to move his arms

when it cuts back to them theyre both dancing, suishinshi is clapping alongside behind oodenta

dreamless dreamer - hachisuka yasusada

i dont think ive ever listened to this song in full i didnt expect the dance break in the middle at all

burn out - hizen ookanehira

im looking???

hizen is soo feral dude

also the penlights are indistinguishable shades of red

brand new sky - team bakumatsu with tomoe without mutsunokami with kuwana imanotsurugi matsui murakumo

I GOT SO SCARED TOMOE WOULDNT BE HERE SINCE I HEARD HE WAS

and i worried maybe he was only in senshuuraku but he showed up halfway through

when team bakumatsu stood in the middle with tomoe i literally teared up

and tomoe's nibu suits their bakuten20 nibu too

with my realisation that they just send akashi hachisuka paraiso-gumi kokoro oboe-gumi and kousui-gumi to other formations since theyve only been in one show i think imanotsurugi is in brand new sky bc shunya wanted to go on the hoverboard

tomoe's ribbon dancing and him swirling around yasusada on his hoverboard

scarlet lips - team shinsengumi without kashuu with hachisuka with tonbo

this song would suit tomoe tbh

omg tonbo has a line that he normally holds and belts but he dropped the pitch instead and it was ahhh

naurrr hachisuka looked into the camera for his final pose

spi didnt put his sleeve back on this time?

was it because he had timeline after this

hachisuka: like sachertorte?

yasusada: what is that

hachisuka: ah, izuminokami, how about you write a haiku about sachertorte

shoutarou's like ..... ok.

and kensuke just says again how about a haiku! :) how about you come up here where i am to do it! :)

shoutarou: ill do it here.

he looked really worried btw like his brain was Working Hard to figure out this haiku at such short notice, he kept rubbing his lip

sachertorte

nanda sore wa

sachertorte

HE TOOK MASSIVE BREAKS BETWEEN EACH LINE TOO

tori laughed

he was like really trying to think of a last line but gave up and said sachertorte again

shoutarou: what was with that ..... :/

tori: as expected, you did well

like shoutarou was frowning and crossing his arms all self consciously after his haiku he was so embarrassed

im saying shoutarou tori and kensuke for this bc shoutarou was very much caught blindisded by it and i know kensuke said that to be mean challenge him lmaoo

right after i wrote that it cut to kensuke (its Absolutely kensuke not hachisuka) who was smiling Very widely and trying not to laugh

i kept rewatching this part sorry like its peak kensuke

timeline - tonbo kuwana

oh kogitsunemaru's part sounded so weird in spi's voice

they just have completely different voices thats all

but absolutely love the image of tonbo looking out for kuwana across the timelines like sasuga tonbokiri-sama

not that kuwana would do whatever mikazuki's doing

in my groove - tsurumaru

he stepped off the edge and fell backwards into the arms of the dancers it scared me

kimi wo sagashiteta - horikawa

shiro-gumi solos

i really like the shots they used for this, with him surrounded by white lights

tsurumaru has dancers while horikawa doesnt and i think i liked horikawa's more

revolution kakumei zenya - formation of kokoro oboe

found out what this song is called six weeks later

buzen: ame kumo how is it

murakumo: ame-san its a beautiful view isn't it

samidare: kumo-san! wan

murakumo: wan :-)

suishinshi: im relieved when its all eight of us together

sohayanotsurugi: im really pleased kyoudai is back!!

oodenta: what did you do when i wasnt here

sohayanotsurugi: oh you know we did-

ookanehira: OOKANEHIRA IS BACK. ookanehira kurenai lightsticks GO. mm thank you! you finally returned, oodenta mitsuyo! compete with me. you guys all seem like you were having fun with oodenta back (everyone: noo-), i cant forgive that

oodenta: very well

he takes his jacket off and gives it sohayanotsurugi

ookanehira makes kuwana pitcher, kuwana throws an invisible ball at oodenta who catches it easily

ookanehira: ! where!

oodenta throws the ball, kuwana catches it and is thrown backwards by the force of it

ookanehira steps up, kuwana throws him the ball while hes talking

ookanehira: haha, i still caught

ookanehira throws the ball with a big yell, it floats gently threw the air with a fuwafuwa, kuwana gently catches it in his hand

ookanehira asks for one more round

oodenta flicks it with his finger, kuwana once again thrown backwards

ookanehira throws again, it floats fuwafuwa

ookanehira sinks to his knees: i lost

sohayanotsurugi: aruji, this is kyoudai's victory!

ookanehira: listen here tenka goken, next time i will surely win. look forward to it!

dare no mono ga demonai jinsei - izuminokami tomoe

izuminokami hasnt worn his musuhaji outfit before

ohh yeah this songs a classic baby

they finished with their backs against each other i dont think theyve ever done that before

mistake

tomoe winked into the camera

oodenta pulled on his rope necklace

when suishinshi and kiyomaro shared a line and came into the middle together they like fully pressed into each other

that thing spi made fun kensuke for in asobiba, he always does it but it was very obvious this time around

enomoto said people who use words like demo or dewa (aka. kogitsunemaru and imanotsurugi lmao) arent popular with girls

imanotsurugi: in that case (trying very hard not to say demo) what should we use??

enomoto: you want to know? demo....

kogitsunemaru and imanotsurugi pointing at him aghast

enomoto: dewa, lets go north

to the future - enomoto

ray was a little too cautious about pulling the sails down, i wonder if it failed recently

worrisome. i said imanotsurugi's "babyuuuun! to touchaku! kogitsunemaru-sama!" with the same timing as him

signs youve watched too many shows

kogitsunemaru: id like to ask you to say "nushi-sama, ill princess carry you. yochiyochi"

tomoe: for aruji's sake, ill do it

tomoe cradles his hoe in his arms "this is a princess carry. yochiyochi" and makes fox hands to talk to the 'head'

eoeoa

matsui comes out dangling a carrot pinched between two fingers with complete disinterest

oh matsui buzen tsurumaru and nansen are normally on lifts but theyre on the main stage this time

tsurumaru dropped a ball down to nansen and nansen like ran over and did that thing where he grabs it and rolls onto his back in what movement. just like a cat

oh samidare was writing a poem

in the background i see akashi sprawling out on the floor while koryuu stares at him

buzen sitting on a stage level above while matsui goes on tiptoes to shove his carrot in his face

buzen goes to pick up his broom and matsui runs off lmao

again in background, buzen jumps off his level to chase matsui but matsui runs up the stairs back up to where buzen was

background, koryuu dragging akashi to sit up so he can actually sing their line

oh i dont think ive ever seen a shot of the big line trying to pull the sweet potato horse out

tsurumaru is lying down, he realises sohayanotsurugi is lying down not far from him, he scoots over but by that time imanotsurugi has dragged sohayanotsurugi off

eternal flame

it cut to hyuuga looking inside imanotsurugi's clothes, ge pulls out a finger heart and imanotsurugi blows on it

there was a wide shot of the mexican wave it made me emotional ngl

really annoying how the four on the lifts are hachisuka koryuu akashi and the rotating cast like those are my guys...... i wanna see them running around with everyone else.......

kiyomaro did cat paws at nansen and he was like O_O

murakumo always gives buzen a back rub but this time he just kinda bonked him with his hand

otokomichi - enomoto masakado

kemono

HEY HACHISUKA CHANGED STARTING POSE

camera zoomed right on into buzen's abs

nagasone's kotetsu arm strap broke..?

oh my god. was koryuu always on lightstick duty and was he always so . kemono-ppoi

kogitsunemaru and tonbo touched foreheads when they did that line. About time tbh theyve been getting closer by the show

towazugatari

ara yuuta's voice broke during his line

nagasone bowed with his hand on his heart and hachisuka bowed normally...? they swapped?

i get so close to not calling akashi a whore every time and i always lose

touken ranbu

they're on the same sides as hiroshima

aisatsu murakumo: im a famous work by gou no yoshihiro, murakumo gou. um, matsuri are fun aren't they... there isnt good or evil, and everyone is happy and smiling... i didnt have a stomach ache either... then, in the words of ame-san.... dogs wont betray... wan

SAMIDARE WAS LOOKING AT HIM WITH HIS HEAD TILTED JUST LIKE A DOG, AND THEN HE CLAPPED FOR HIM WITH A LITTLE SMILE ON HIS FACE

did they change how nagasone bows actually

he raises his sword in front of him now maybe thats from bakuten20

homare-pon nansen

imanotsurugi: do That for aruji-san please!

nansen: leave it to me! to aruji who always do their best, honyanyan- can you give me another go... ok, to aruji who always do their best, and to aruji who lie around too, homare-ponya!

cuts to koryuu doing little claps and smiling

BABY BOY

LOVED this show, id really missed tomoe, lots of hachisuka, plus all the mc parts were really funny

just tokyo left now and then i can go back to living my life jesus christ

ok seeing as the solos were tsurumaru and horikawa, myu's top batters, im thinking they wont change the solos for tokyo, plus one of the duets was ookanehira and hizen's and hizen has become crazy popular over the course of srs22 so i wouldnt be surprised if they stayed the same too.

id still love another setlist change tho..... for solos theres still endless night (unlikely), boku ga iru basho, koto no hana (unlikely but id love it), kimi to miageta ano hi no sora, and brave soul. i think its entirely possible that they could swap horikawa and tsurumaru solos. id love brave soul too but tonbo's half was definitely the muramasa half so unlikely i think

duets theres prologue and heart to heart (bring these two back i swear to god tho these would be better as higawari), nameless fighter (please no not if nikkari's not here), dont worry dont worry, impulse, te ga todoku made (please no to all. im literally holding my breath bc i absolutely dont want these to be used tho ill loosen my claws on dont worry dont worry as long as they Promise not to use rhe others.......), drive, i want to be here

the kaigawari im really hoping will be S but idk if theyd turn a trio into a duet in which case it may be new versions of mijukuna watashi wa yume wo miru Or i want to be here. i do want it to be S tho.

making those lists (off the top of my head, i dont think i missed any but possible) i mean theyre very pointedly avoiding mihotose/mihotose19 arent they w good leave them alone. as for drive izuminokami is in a fair number of songs so i understand if they skip it. otherwise im surprised theyve covered pretty much every duet and solo of the swords here (and ones not. anyway.)

im thinking that the dvd will include the tokyo senshuuraku and the miyagi senshuuraku for muramasa, and the solos for that were muramasa real love and tonbo blackout, and i sincerely doubt theyd rearrange them without putting them on the dvd

as much as i would love the full senshuuraku for each city i think theyll probably just do the rotating solos/duets instead and every utsukushii higeki/timeline. im hoping for a cut of the omatsuri part too since im missing iwatooshi!!!!!

Rant/vent about DID under the read more

Im really worried, my alters keep splitting in two, I end up with a bunch of “copies” of our host, but these pieces keep breaking off with no clear reason as to why? Its been a year since I escaped my abuser, I rarely talk to anyone because people are just too much, so I wonder what it is thats bothering me enough that new alters would come around.

Every time I look it up people say “theyre probably just alters you never knew about” but that isnt the case- Its one alter splitting into a million tiny pieces. The only other answer Ive seen to this sort of problem isnt even an answer its just “Well that cant happen”. If it cant happen, and its happening to me, am I just fucking crazy or something?

They say alters only happen as a result of being actively traumatized, but Ive escaped that environment. I just keep splitting more, but sometimes theyre violent and out of control, so I wonder if their destructive behaviors have traumatized us? Because I truly believe you can traumatize yourself when hurting another. I also wonder if the trauma work Im doing in therapy is triggering us, because that really seems to be the case.

But since everyone says me splitting new alters is impossible, Im afraid to tell my therapist because Im so ashamed. This shouldn’t be happening to me, I shouldnt exist. Im in therapy, I shouldnt be getting worse.

Everything about DID treatment feels so experimental, and I wonder if my therapist would feel that she failed me because I just keep splitting off new parts while in treatment. I feel so guilty about it. I wonder if I’ll ever get better or if it’s impossible. I dont even fully trust her but shes the only person I could find who knows anything about DID. Which makes me nervous, because she barely knows anything about it! And shes all I have!

So, I definitely dont trust her. But she says we cant go any further with EMDR therapy till I trust her… What an impossible mission. She’s leagues better than other therapists Ive had, who would tell me Im basically a serial killer in the making for having alters, or that my alters arent alters and they are just psychotic symptoms or autism symptoms. At least with her she acknowledges that we exist as individuals, on some level. But Im afraid she probably doesnt know what shes doing…..

Then again, Ive heard with EMDR, sometimes it seems to get worse before it gets better. Perhaps my DID is just having a field day with how my trauma is triggered by the simplest of therapeutic exercises

Im also afraid that if this treatment does work, I wont be able to remember any traumatic memories. Ive never remembered them, I dont see how I ever will. Sometimes I think its better that way. But if I dont remember anything, then the treatment is failing, Im failing, and I’ve wasted our time

First of all I want to say that I appreciate you for posting this asks and having these discussions, everyone acts like wanting to talk about this is an insult to Lewis but I mean, as long as we keep in mind that we are just speculating and don’t know anything for sure, I don’t see it as something wrong to do. For me personally, I think the word “escort” has kind of lost all meaning at this point and is being used in the wrong way. From what I’ve seen through the years, Lewis has been “”seeing”” the same girls for years at a time, and sure he also had casual one night stands (we’ve seen pap photos of him going into hotels with random women), but why not call them friends with benefits haha? For me it’s not believable that he’s one of those guys that calls up an escorting agency and just pays for sex whoever they send him or just picks a random girl from a list 😂 it’s more likely that he meets girls at the thousands of events he goes to and contacts whoever he clicks with, or maybe they’re the ones approaching him. I mean, he’s attractive, famous, he must have women throwing themselves at him everyday. For me personally, the only thing that is making me doubt him is that he’s getting older and I think, image wise, it’s not the best look to be at his age and still be seen around with different girls who are always so much younger than him. It makes me wonder if he’s one of those Hollywood types who don’t know how to have a relationship with a woman their own age and go after younger ones for their looks only (yes I know Nicole was older than him but that was almost 10 years ago now). I hope he’s not that shallow because he doesn’t seem to be, but at the end of the day we don’t know him

No problem! 😊 yeah ive already said the better word is fwb/influencer+ or what it used to be a sugar baby. I truly don't care tbh 😂

I think mostly goes via social media. Or maybe a Raya? He's single and the girls consent so thats the most important thing imo.

I think for now it's clear he isnt planning on settling down.

Several months ago i told my roommate i wasnt interested in looking at a new place to live, bcus at the time i figured there was a good chance i wouldnt still be living in ohio in the next several months to year. (I never told her why i didnt want to look at new places thankfully). Bcus i thot things were going to keep moving in a positive way with him. Very stupid of me.

I waited 6 months on two things. "Idk how I feel " and "we will meet in person". 6 fucking months of waiting patiently.

And when i finally bring up the first thing i get "well i don't think i feel that way... but who knows what the future holds". Wtf. half a year and you still cant say it decisively. I tried so hard to take that as a definitive response and move on, but it wasnt and i couldnt. Bcus im an idiot.

After the first cancelled meeting i waited. Then a second cancelled meeting. And he says "well im not going out of my way looking to pick up trips to go that way, itll happen when it happens". I keep waiting. One day i try to sincerely explain how much its hurting me to wait to meet like this, and how much I want to take the initiative and plan a trip to his city. And how worried i am about the whole "flight school" on the horizon since its going to most likely alter his schedule in such a way that him and i will have so little free time at the same time. And how that scares me bcus it feels like the first step to losing him completely. And this is another reason im pushing to make a meeting happen.

So Making it very very clear that i only would want for one small simple meeting, like a lunch, and that if thats all i got with him that would be enough bcus i also just really want to travel somewhere and see things jve never seen and that taking a plane by myself is a very scary thing, but if im going somehwere where i know a friend is on the otherside it gives me the strength to do something so extreme for myself, i mean im someone that gets stressed and anxious just trying to go to a store or run errands. He says "no, i cant guarantee it would work out to meet, and i dont want you to spend all that money and be disappointed" also "im not out to my family so itd be comllicated to have you over as anything other than a friend". First of all, im not even allowed to try and make something happen. 2nd with weeks ahead of time anybody can plan for a single lunch to happen once out of 2 or 3 days possible. 3rd it must not matter how important it is to me, to be able to try and do something like this, how little i expect how little commitment im asking for it, how unobtrusive im trying to be but also experience something. It doesnt matter. 4th, what the fuck is that second excuse coming from? I didnt ask to meet your family, i didnt ask to come over to a family dinner and ve introduced as your boyfriend. How is that a concern when ive made it clear none of that is expected? (Well stupid ass me thinks only someone thinking of doing those things would randomly bring them up when they were not previously stated). 5thly, if you had a job that would literally PAY you to go and visit your alleged "best friend" ... wouldnt you kinda fucking want to do that? Wouldnt that be cool as shit? If i could get paid to visit some of my friends, i think maybe i might try and make that happen every once in a while. So he wont take a paid trip to see me, and im not allowed to pay for my own trip to him. Kinda really sounds like "i dont want to meet you". Only took this dumbass about 8 months to realize that one.

The last couple of weeks ive been trying to act "normal ". Im not messaging him everyday, even tho i want to. And it fucking hurts me. And idk how he feels about it, or if hes even noticed. Not like he would ever really tell me the truth anyway. So im an idiot and an asshole.

I can't even get him to say something as simple as "i want to spend time with you" i tried so hard one night to see if he could even say that much, it didnt work. Bcus im an idiot.

We had two big fights recently too. The one everyone could see where he made it clear he thinks im stupid as shit. And then a second one a few days later while in a discord call. He was upsetting me so much i had to hang up on him before i blew a gasket. Then i explained to him why i got so upset and his response was "wow you got upset over someone elses opinions". He was going to let the night end like that. Soni explained further why I was so upset. And he said something like "ok". And i had to be like "do i even get an apology?" (After i had already apologized for hanging up and getting upset, earlier in the convo). And only then did he finally give a half assed barely covering the problem apology. But I took it and rejoined the call after calming down a bit more. Once again i was being stupid and an ass.

Ever since those two fights i feel like i get treated like shit all the time. Like he is mad at me about stuff but cant even remotely bring it up outside of treating me like shit. But then the one day he streams its all "this is the game brad recommended for me, he knows me so well" blah blah blah. And weirdly nice replies sometimes. Like clearly something is up. But more likely im just an idiot.

He was trying to talk to me the other day, just a couple days after my "worst day" of the very very bad past two weeks. I told him "sorry i havent been feeling well". Him "oh are you sick. Me "well not like cough cough sick". Him " then what is it?". Me "its hard to say out loud". Him "oh ok".

And that was it. No reassurance, no "im here", no "i understand but you can talk to me if itd help". Nothing. Is that really how someone responds to their "best friend" clearly not being well? Its hard for me to tell bcus im so stupid.

And then the announcement earlier. Came with no warning to me. Last i heard he hadnt heard back from any places. And hours before he posted that he asked what I was doing, and i was playing totk amd watching gdq with the roommate. Not really a good time for him and i to play a game together that would take the main tv in the living room. So he said ok have fun. And i said "if you want to hang out in a call thatd be cool". Him "well id have to go in the other room, ill just stay in the living its more comfortable". Me "ok well lmk if you figure out how to use discord in the living room and id be down to hang out". Him "id either have to wear headphones and not hear the game or put you on speaker and youd hear my game. Which is so annoying". Me "i normally use headphone and just leave one ear uncovered to hear the game. Also so when my games have been too loud". Him "its mostly my friend nate 'blah blah blah" convo ends. And a couple hours later we get that announcement.

Hes got his next two months planned out basically. One month of "working back to back" which contains two weeks off, one of which an international vacation! Lmao. Followed by starting school the next month. two weeks before my birthday! How perfect! I messaged him and told him im happy to hear that he finally heard back from a place. And that im happy for him. But im also so fucking pissed. Ive told him how this school thing coming worries me, and he makes a group post instead of telling his "best friend" first. Isnt that fucked up? Once again im being treated like shit. And hes able to have two weeks off in june, including an 8 day international vacation. But i get "ill try to stream for those other days". Somebody you said "we will meet eventually" and you cant make room for me after all this time before turning your whole lifes schedule around making it so you know we wont be able to hang out anymore. So clearly im a huge fucking asshole for having such selfish fucking thots when all i should have thot was "oh yay good for you!". But hey thats what you get when your a stupid worthless ashole am i right? 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆

Session 45 - Blood Under The Fields

youtube

> 🎵 The Forgotten Village / Folklore OST

Pulling back to the small town of Greenpea, the party find themselves standing in a sloped field overlooking the farms of the area. Their new friendly frog stares up at them all from its spot seated on the dirt near a pumpkin, having led them all here, it croaks lazily again.

The wind blows in the middle of the night as they feel a sense of unease shroud them all, though they cannot place why. Keva offers to lift the frog back into the bucket, but after giving it a stare it stays put seemingly content for the moment.

Cimmorro looks around alert to check if anyone’s watching them, but he gets the sense they're alone for the moment, aside from the frog. Keva keeps an eye on it to make sure no harm befalls it as they look around.

Han begins to check the ground, shifting around some of the dirt and looking for anything suspicious. At one point she feels the earth shift beneath herself slightly in a strange way, looking down and pressing again with her foot she feels something creak slightly beneath the dirt.

Han: han presses harder "theres door here?!" Cimmorro: cimm looks at you then looks down at your feet as if waiting for you to open it or something Han: gonna start shifting the dirt around the frog to look at the wood "i mean, its wood, maybe its not DOOR..." digging Frog: the frog gives a little croak as it notices your discovery

As Han clears more dirt away, she makes out what seems to be a hatch or door in the ground.

Han: 😮 "it IS door..."

The group give it a look and see a small metal padlock at the bottom end of the hatch, Keva shuffles Han aside and begins to pick it open. She gets a sense it might be hard to pick but as soon as she starts its over within seconds, the metal clicks open and falls off.

Han: han claps n goes wahoo quietly

She grabs the end of the hatch and wrenches it open with a creak as the others watch on. Opening it up streams of dirt and dust cloud their vision for a moment as they glance down. They see what looks to be a short ladder leading down into a small dirt hallway, reinforced by poor wooden beams. They can see dried blood ever so faintly coating the ladder and dirt below it.

Cimmorro gets a sense that some of the blood is months old, though patches here and there look more recent, a couple days or so old. Keva also eyeballs the entrance for traps, but finds it clean.

Cimmorro: i relay this to everyone quietly and add "seems like this place has seen a lot of use" Psalm: "Oh great."

Rokka stretches his ear to listen down the hole, but doesn't pick up anything aside from the quiet. Cimmorro also casts detect undead, but picks up nothing strange.

Chip: nothing pinging except for your best friend [finn] Cimmorro: swatting him away like a fly in my mind) Finn: staring daggers at you and exploding you in my mind)

Keva: i offer the bucket to the frog again since it seems like this is where we're going next Frog: the frog peers at you again and croaks before hopping over, it lands with a 'plop' in the water

Glancing down the hole again Cimmorro gives it a sniff, it smells like dirt, iron and fresh blood. Looking down again he notes a faint light coming from down beyond the dirt hallway. He notes it doesn't look very deep, maybe about 14 feet or so.

Han gives a glance for any tracks, or signs of anyone having been here recently. Hard to tell upside after they displaced all the dirt, but down the hole it appears to be recently traversed by someone at the very least.

Finn: finn steps close to the hatch and gives the rest a look "id like to get down there, if nothing else is holding us up?" he sounds a tad impatient Cimmorro: "we might be encountering some company if we do so, not stopping you but you might want to prepare yourself" he points out the light Finn: he smirks at you "thats quite fine with me... personally, ive found our travels far too peaceful thus far... my blade lusts for blood" Psalm: "Right...let us know how that goes." Psalm waves goodbye @ him Finn: finn thinks you're boring and a coward for this Keva: keva doesn't bother to hide the face of disdain she makes as she tucks the bucket into her side Cimmorro: the thought of pushing finn down the hatch crosses cimm's mind but he simply just moves away to give him way, as if to say be my guest Han: han rolls her eyes so hard it hurts but says "its stupid to go alone, i will do backup" Finn: "finally! someone with a sense of adventure!" he completely ignores your actual feelings on this "even if it is the oaf, this should bode well..." Psalm: wolf was enough for one night he thinks

Despite their grumbling the rest of the party queues up to head in after Han with Keva heading up the back, Vinny glances around anxiously as everyone heads forward before he sighs and walks forward as well.

Finn hops down without any trouble, Han follows landing with a thump.

Han: briefly gets nauseous from the smell but then gets up to catch anyone else coming down Finn: finn steps forward enough so everyone has space to land

Han makes sure to close the hatch behind them as the party begin to shuffle forward with Finn taking the lead, the tunnel isn't too long, they quickly find themselves in the small room at the end of it.

youtube

> 🎵 Violence / Roadwarden OST

Walking through they peer around at the clutter inside. Under their feet sits a big ratty carpet, the walls and ceiling similarly supported by the same wooden beams as from the tunnel.

Inside sits a small desk and a few barrels with a single lit candle sitting upon it, as well as a bed. But, before they can look around further they quickly notice a body seated at the desk, keeled over face first onto it. Squinting they can see the ground and chair beneath them, as well as the desktop pool with fresh blood. As he stares Finn finds himself grow a little parched.

He walks towards the body and leans the person back on their chair, interested in inspecting whatevers on the desk but his gaze lingers on the person for quite a while. He quickly checks them over, they appear to be a human man, unfortunately now deceased, his lungs and pulse now gone silent. His body still feels warm however, and the blood seeping from him makes him think it happened very recently.

A long gash runs the length of the front of his neck, Finn finds it hard to stop himself from drooling a little.

Finn: finn visibly weighing his reason and instinct against each other like i hope to god no ones paying attention to the most startling thing in the room here. i keep holding the man in my "embrace", just scanning the gash and his blood covered body over and over Cimmorro: cimm snapping his fingers at finn rn "oi" Finn: finn is a little startled by this and he stares at you with blown pupils, but wide eyes. the drool drops down his chin onto the poor man "i..." he starts weakly and looks away from you "how do you... hes passed recently" finns grip on the man tightens "still warm. how would he die from a gash?" his eyes flick towards it again and stay there Cimmorro: "what do you mean 'how would he-'..... man just... you should step away i think" Plum: "i feel like that's a pretty easy way to die? the question is who the fuck is this anyways" Finn: finn briefly considers the taste of rat blood, or perhaps bird blood if hes lucky, and makes a pained face "um... you could not possibly relate or understand but... hes just passed and i didnt do it and..." once the words tumble out he seems visibly shaken and pulls his hands away, looking to cimm as if to ask if hes happy now Cimmorro: cimm doesn't look perturbed at finn's attempt to make him feel bad "we need information. i'm only trying to avoid more incidents especially one you'd regret afterwards" and he gets back to work Finn: finn stays silent for a minute, just watching cimm work, fighting w himself to start another awkward conversation "i had a feeling something like this might await us down here although not as... visceral" he looks around the desk "id like to stay here with you" Cimmorro: cimm briefly squints his eyes at you, debating with himself for a moment. ".....avoid getting more drool on the guy and i'll let you" Finn: "huh?" finn blinks and quickly rubs his chin with his sleeve "right um.. i wont" hes a little mortified by this but shakes his head as if to shrug it off

Han: grabbing notebook from psalm and writing to the frog "is this farmer?" Frog: the frog croaks once for no

Cimm examines the body while trying to ignore Finn's drool, the obvious cause of death would be the cut on his neck, its pretty big.

As he looks at the desk he see his arms laying by his face, covered in blood smears as if they thrashed about for a moment. Laying near his arms on the desktop sits a blood-drenched quill, as well as a dagger dangerously close to falling off the edge of the tabletop. A journal of some kind sits underneath his head, drenched in his blood, as well as all over the rest of the desktop.

He’s dressed not unlike a farmer, thick boots and overalls, but the clothing is made of finer materials, dark maroons and black fabric and a sturdy belt. As Cimmorro glances at his forearms he notes a few small scars litter the underside, like tiny paper cuts. They lead underneath thick black leather gloves that cover the rest of his hands.

As they go over the body Psalm and Keva investigate the rest of the room. As they glance around, near the other end of it they see a few bloodied sacks, dried blood litters that section of the ground and walls from what they can see. As they glance around the corner of the room you also see strange arcane runes drawn with blood on two opposite walls, they seem to match one another in design almost exactly. Its stark enough that its almost distracting. Nothing lies on the floor between them except for the sacks and dried blood.

Psalm: @ vinny "Do those runes mean anything to you?" Vinny: he thinks to himself briefly squinting at the blood "it... it looks like the black magic runes we saw in that basement, though not the exact same types per say" Plum: "was he trying to do rituals and fucked it up?" Keva: "what's different? and why are there two?" Plum: “maybe it's like same language different purpose" Vinny: he walks closer to give it a better look"yes, i'd say so. im not exactly versed in what they do" he leans closer "i think....these still have a little bit of power in them actually..." he starts to kind of poke it with a thoughtful expression Plum: “i dont like the sound of that...” Keva: oh my mgo di'm swatting his hands away Vinny: he kind of jumps with a ACK and then laughs nervously while still trying to eyeball it

Uncomfortable with the smell, Han backs up into the corridor and starts poking around there for anything missing or hidden. She spies tracks on the ground here from the same set of boots, over and over again. There also appear to be what look like drag marks on the ground, thinking on the sacks she puts two and two together that he was probably dragging things down here frequently. nothing else stands out much.

As she does Psalm crouches down to examine the underside of the bed back in the room, but the smell of the blood and the dirt almost overwhelms him down there so fast that he immediately stand back up a little nauseous.

Rokka also picks the knife up from the desk and shifts it around to inspect it, nothing strange about it stands out in particular, aside from the blood its covered in. Cimmorro moves to wiggle the gloves off the corpse, and quickly finds tattoos on the man’s hands, a little faded with time. The red colouring and shapes quickly remind him of Theyord’s in a weird way.

Cimmorro: NO MORE THEYORD !!!! Rokka: Rokka inspecting the knife like hmmm...this knife...is a knife...🧐

Plum goes to examine the journal alongside Finn who follows, but finds it being soaked in blood has made it impossible to read.

Han: to the frog "is this the murderer of farmer? have you seen this man at all?" Frog: the frog wiggles over to get a look from keva's bucket, then croaks twice for yes Han: "this IS dude who killed farmer. before, frog said there's symbol on their cloak" if anyone wants to check what it is Rokka: "Huh? Well then why is HE dead?? Arghh this is making my head hurt" he holds his head, mostly speaking about all the smell Keva: "he's not wearing a cloak though is he? is it somewhere in here?"

Vinny: "im curious why there's two of the exact saame..." Plum: "well do you know of any kind of magic that requires two, or if there's some kind of reason one would use two of a symbol or other magic conduit??" Vinny: he glances between them "to transfer something somewhere else, thats typically the case... they could be for teleportation. or something else along those lines" he squints at them again pondering Plum: "i feel like that's pretty in line with what we've seen of the cultists so far. generally speaking i feel like this guy is a cultist with all those wounds on his arm, and maybe he succeeded in whatever he was doing with all this blood everywhere?" Vinny: "id assume so, it all seems intentional" he glances down then back again "i think the dried blood here is still powering these, thats why they still work"

Keva: "i really don't think he did this to himself. it looks more like a struggle to me. the hatch was locked, the runes might be for teleportation and they were used recently."Keva: "it seems to me that he had an unexpected visitor" Plum: "i feel like the hatch being locked meant that he was down here doing this so he wouldn't be caught, because otherwise a break in, like a damaged lock, would make more sense if it was someone else right...?" Han: "more like someone was keeping them here. otherwise, why was it locked from outside." Keva: "that's what i'm saying, maybe someone used the teleportation runes to enter. or maybe someone came in with him, and then used the runes to get out. either way, no one left thru that door." Plum: "then why'd they leave this dagger here, unless it's just this guy's dagger and it's not all that important to bring" Keva: "that part i don't know. maybe just so they're not carrying a bloody weapon? there's nothing identifying about the dagger anyway, is there?" Plum: "well i guess we'll see when i'm done with it" Keva: keva mumbling aloud but mostly to herself "actually, if anyone entered thru the door they'd have to get back out the same way to lock it and cover it up again..."

Han: @ dagger being left "confident that no one else will find this place?" Plum: "i guess so, even though a frog found it for us" Han: "ive been thinking about that... could this frog be magical?" pokes frog Frog: the frog croaks lowly Han: writes in notebook "are you cursed to be frog?" Keva: say yes and only true love's kiss will free him) Frog: the frog croaks once for no

As they continue theorising about the runes, Plum casts detect magic in the middle of the room. They get pings from both the bloody ones on the wall, as well as from underneath the man. All of them come up with Enchantment as the school of magic.

Plum: "well they're enchantment runes... which means....?" [looks at vinny meaningfully] Vinny: he raises an eyebrow and strokes his chin "strange. teleportation is usually conjuration" Keva: "so these weren't for teleportation and someone did leave thru the door to lock it up and hide it" Plum: "wait so enchantment.... that's for like controlling people isn't it?" Vinny: he looks over to where finn and cimmorro are standing " wait, also on the chair" he looks even more curious before turning back "ah yes, typically things like that. alot of mind trickery" he makes a motion with his hand next to his ear Plum: plum is starting to get confused. "i think mind control is more like what they were doing than teleportation, so did someone...mind control this guy and then use him as like part of their ritual or........??????????????????? but then the enchantment symbols are the only sign of ritual activity around here" Psalm: "That's not far beyond the realm of possibility since they were doing similar magic back over in shorewater right?" Plum: "yeah, i just don't really get what this guy has to do with it or what they needed him for" "specifically" Psalm: "Maybe he's just an unlucky villager." Plum: "well i mean more like, what are all the scars on his arms for? like what did they need a human sacrifice for i guess, if he was hypnotized into killing himself or something" Psalm: "I would say just for the blood but it's probably not as simple as that."

Cimmorro stares back at the desk examining the blood, he gets the sense that the blood soaking through him onto the floor is alot more recent than that on the ladder, maybe only 20 or so minutes since it was shed.

Han: "this is kyzers territory, right? do we think thats his student? is he tying up loose ends?" Cimmorro: "this guy has been dead for not even more than half an hour" Finn: "i did tell you hes still warm..." finn mumbles Cimmorro: cimm gives you a tired look "time is crucial. roughly 20 minutes is incredibly concerning. also you'd be pleased to know he has the same tattoos as theyord" Finn: "the exact same?" finn tilts his head Cimmorro: "yeah. he just has much less of it" Finn: "looks like theyord was able to reach further than shorewater then..." its taking finn everything not to smile, so he tortures himself by inhaling the iron scent and staring at the mans gash again Cimmorro: cimm just watching your weird gestures like this

Finn: "do you have any love for violence cimmorro?" he speaks a little more quiet, so hopefully only the two of you would hear Cimmorro: ???????? he looks at you for so uncomfortably long with either vague or nothing in his expression before he finally goes "do you need someone to help you out of the room right now?" his eyes flick briefly to han as he says this HJKGDJSKHG Finn: finn gives you a disappointed look, as if he was looking forward to talking to you about this "nevermind then... no, im quite alright" he seems a little apathetic now Cimmorro: cimm shakes his head and just mumbles "what the fuck" to himself

Plum: "wait there's runes underneath the guy" <- just realized "like on the chair" Psalm: Psalm's gonna go over to the guy and compare the runes on the chair and wall i guess to see if they're similar?

Psalm tries to subtly slide up and check out the chair while Cimmorro and Finn are talking but he doesn’t spy any runes on it obviously, he assumes its directly under him on the seat.

He awkwardly begins to try and shift the man a little but as he starts to struggle Plum sidles up to help him. They settle the body on the ground gracefully enough and get a look at the seat of the chair still ignoring the other two, they find the exact same rune on the walls here on the chair.

As they eyeball it, Han rifles through the bloodstained sacks near the other runes. She finds old ratty clothing, also stained with blood. Things like simple shirts and coveralls, they all scream farmer to her in various shades.

Keva: @ vinny "you wouldn't happen to be able to do anything about that book covered in blood would you? might be useful to us." Vinny: he looks away from his conversation with plum as you call his attention "hm? oh yes yes! let me have a look" he makes a face as he realises its soaked in blood, he picks it up and says something before snapping his hand, with a puff of smoke the blood dissapears, the book left pristine Keva: keva gestures for cimm and vinny to take a look at the book Cimmorro: cimm is like 100% distracted with finn's... everything so keva trying to get his attention snaps him outta his stupor there "oh you guys cleaned it yay!" reading

Cimmorro heads over to Vinny to examine the journal together. It seems like a small section of someone's notes, though there's still quite a bit of writing on it. It jumps all over the place like observing's to be rewritten and collected more thoughtfully later. They note the parts that seem relevant:

‘outing bore more fruit than before. it seems he’s appeased by any old blood. coating beforehand seems to increase effectiveness. bet the horned idiot never figured that one out. townspeople are noticing however. don't want the forest snooping. one more test should do then i am moving on from this place. look into host relocation. should work now, redid the incantation, plenty of blood. pick a witch, they’ll have useful abilities no doubt. need to steel myself for the pain again. wind’s blowing east these days, I should charter a boat after and reconnect my research. nadelle disliked theyord as far as i recall, would still get on well.’

Underneath the page of notes sits a seal etched into the paper written in ink. It quickly reminds them of the same infernal black magic. Theyord and company used, though they don't recognise this one. No one recognises the name Nadelle however.

Peeking out the trapdoor, Han notes that the only shack they can see from here is Ronaldo’s, it seems the field here would belong to him.

Cimmorro: cimm pretty much reads this out loud so the others can hear while they're working Psalm: "What a coincidence that we're also going east." Keva: "'coating'... in blood?" keva thinks back to the massive splatter of blood in ronaldo's hut "are they... throwing blood on these farmers and then sacrificing them to whatever thing theyord was trying to summon?" Plum: "or they could mean coating in scars" Keva: "but it says that theyord never figured that out... didn't theyord also have scars?" Cimmorro: "yea same paper cut scars as this guy" Psalm: "The scars are probably irrelevant though, since that size wouldn't provide a large enough amount of blood in the moment to coat something. Well irrelevant to the ritual for now, we'll say." Plum: "oh i was wondering if it was something like being covered in a lot more scars is useful but maybe they're just incisions from drawing blood yeah" Psalm: "Yeah could be for other rituals or magics that aren't necessarily the ritual being performed here... The blood splatter is too large for that to be the cause " Keva: "are we sure there was a ritual performed here, or was there just a murder? maybe before a ritual could happen?" Psalm: "I mean the runes would imply there was a ritual performed here right?" Plum: "well there are two giant symbols on the wall" Keva: "do runes automatically work once you draw them?" Plum: "they're still working even as we stand in here" Psalm: "The journal seemingly confirms that too." Keva: "hm..."

Plum: "remember vinny said all this old blood in here is still powering them up just a bit" Keva: "i know, i'm just not convinced that this guy dying on this desk is connected to performing that ritual. he was planning on leaving, clearly, if this is his journal" Psalm: “i disagree” Plum: "i figure that's what all the blood in here is for in general. 'it seems he's appeased by any old blood'- maybe they're talking about......mephisto? (?????) if this was just "any old" farmer. i just don't get why the particular purpose of this ritual might be mind control.“ Psalm: "I have a theory actually. Since I'm kind of curious about the 'need to steel myself for the pain again' part, it might be likely that whoever is performing the ritual controls the bodies of the- " he gestures at the dead guy " 'vessels' here. But maybe the pain transfers to them too? So whoever did this doesn't necessarily die or anything performing the ritual. They avoid most of the dirty work as well as have an easier means of staying undetected." Keva: "this is the person who killed our farmer in question, not the actual farmer so i don't think he's referring to his own blood as far as 'any old blood'. it probably needs blood from him, but not this much." Psalm: "This is assuming the person here is a cultist and not just some random villager I guess." Keva: "his clothes are too nice for a regular villager" Plum: "you don't think this guy could be mind controlled into doing this?" Psalm: "I feel like they were mind controlled into doing it even if they're not just a random villager. Or maybe they're a cult member, I doubt sacrifice is a big deal to them." Keva: "i don't know about that part, but i'm pretty sure someone was here with him since that door was closed, locked, and covered in dirt. Psalm: "Could have been the person doing the ritual?" Plum: "yeah, which makes me think that the person who owns the journal isn't necessarily this dead person here. for all we know they might even come back here and pick the journal up later, i don't see why not" Psalm: "Well if we stay and find out we risk losing our lead if we kill them, but if we leave and they come back to find it gone they might abandon their plan to travel east now that the information is compromised. Or at least that's what I'd do if I was them."

Han: "if we fuck with these symbols, could we stop whatever spell its doing right now?" Vinny: vinny nods his head "its certainly very easy to do, the ones on the wall are just blood" Han: han picks out a shirt and starts scrubbing

As the others chat on, Han begins scrubbing away at the bloody runes on the wall, Vinny watches curiously as she does. Once she rubs out some of the blood on one she feels the small energy pulsing from it immediately vanish.

Glancing around the two detect no differences, though as they head over to the other rune on the wall they can tell the energy on this one has also dissipated.

Han: han shrugs at vinny "i was hoping more fanfare" Vinny: he smiles "well they weren't too greatly powered in the first place.." he glances between them "though that confirms those two were definitely connected at least"

Curious, Han then walks over to the one carved in the chair, this one still seems to be humming away, and more strongly.

Han: "so, there is no way to figure out who is on other end of "host relocation", right? might as well scrub this out too, see if it interrupts it" Vinny: he nods "not from the rune itself in any case"

Han starts messing up the carving soaked in blood, after a few scrapes she hears a snapping sound in the air and a spark in front of her eyes, she looks back down and feel the energy has dissipated from this rune as well. Nothing else appears strange however, the body certainly hasn't changed either.

In the meanwhile Cimmorro continues eyeing the journal for a sense of the author, though he doesnt find a name written anywhere.

Cimmorro: "damn learn some personalization man" <-- he is grumbling this to no one in particular

He doesn't feel any magic emanating off of it, or the seal him and Vinny saw earlier. He reckons its probably more akin to a personal sigil than a real magic rune. Keva also idly checks around the place again curious, she finds nothing akin to a key for a padlock down here either.

Finn: re the journal "should we take it with us?" Plum: "i'm surprised you're even asking" Finn: finn merely blinks at you and tilts his head questioningly Psalm: "There's no need to take the diary if we know what's in it though. So it's not totally invalid a question..." Plum: "you don't think having it for reference would be useful? you have that strong of a memory?" Finn: "im just wondering if its worse for them to find it missing or tempered with.... or should we simply drench it in blood again, then?" Psalm: "Well yes, but I was thinking more along the lines of not leaving an tracks. Although Finn is right, we've obviously tampered with it." Plum: "yeah i agree, but han did just smudge up the wall"

Keva: "i'm pretty certain this is our farmer killer, killing them for whatever tests he's doing, and these things are his. now who killed him or why, i don't know... do you think this 'host' thing is someone... transferring bodies?" Psalm: "Yeah and their next target is a witch probably." Plum: "i'm not saying he isn't the guy who killed the farmer, we know that much. i just think some kind of ritual was obviously performed in here" Keva: "maybe this person brought someone else in here, did a ritual to enter their body, and then killed this person since the body isn't needed anymore...?" Han: "remember how theyord entered body of that one guy we caught?" Plum: "sure, but as far as we know there's no body entering ritual traces around here. didn't those doppelgangers have rings?" Psalm: "Maybe the ritual involves suicide and the host performed it remotely using their enchantment...whatever." Keva: "maybe, but there was someone else here. there had to have been" Psalm: "Oh well just because the ritual was performed remotely doesn't mean they couldn't have come here afterwards. This is probably just their base. Especially if there's a journal with everything we need to know here haha" Keva: "they must have still been close by then bc he only died less than half an hour ago" Psalm: "Maybe they're headed to our ship?"

Plum: "i'm just trying to figure out: if this guy's the farmer killer and the journal's owner, we can assume he was just using that farmer as part of his tests. i think what we're trying to figure out is what these ritual symbols on the wall are for, and why this guy right now is dead." Psalm: "We could always just report this to Vorde and head back." [drinkingwine.gif]

Cimmorro: after skimming the journal cimm says "anyways i'm taking the journal with. i'd like to add the seal to the previous etchings i got"

Finn: "regardless of whether we can figure this out right now or not... what should our next move be?" Psalm: "I think we should leave personally. Not sure what else we could possibly learn here and someone might return since this place was only recently deserted. If we leave maybe we can catch up to them or warn some of the witches?" Cimmorro: [glancing at body] "we should bury him.... it's unbecoming to just leave him here. or rather, we could at least inform the townsfolk, these are their fields after all." Plum: "i was thinking the same" Vinny: vinny looks down at the man and makes a somber face "...do we decide whos carrying him?" Cimmorro: "i certainly can't, despite how i want to rid you all of such taxing labor, emotionally and physically. and i assume you are reluctant to" Vinny: making this face [cryingpleadingemoji]

Plum: "i don't mind helping someone lift it, but i don't think it'd make much sense for me to" Han: han sighs "i can, if u reeeeally want" Cimmorro: "you don't seem very eager though..." he says this in a tone where it's like he's feeling a little bad asking for assistance Han: "who would be? you can owe me then, if that makes you feel better about asking" Cimmorro: cimm thinks on this for a bit then opens his mouth to say something but holds back and just says "alright" Finn: "we could also just leave this to the townspeople, really" Plum: "i don't think that's a good idea... i feel like if we let this kind of dramatic scenario leak to the "commonfolk" then we're gonna be met with a bunch of rumours that will make it harder for us to learn real things from people later on. also i don't wanna scare people hahaw" Psalm: "We might also get sidelined by local authorities and that might make it harder to investigate." Rokka: "We just got ourselves un-framed back at the big city...i dont want to get fingers pointed at us again :("

Han hefts the man’s body up easy enough, no trouble. The group all begin filtering out of the hidey hole in the dirt back topside. Though as they go she gives one more good glance around for anything out of the ordinary, along with Cimmorro’s assistance.

The two only spot one set of prints down here besides the party’s own, assuredly the boots of the man in her arms. As they reach topside and start snooping around, they see his same prints amongst their own again.

> 🎵 The Forgotten Village / Folklore OST

Han wanders a few feet off around the hatch, away from all her digging, to keep looking around. With Cimmorro’s help they notice faint footprints, the bare feet of an adult in fact. They look large, though not of the size of her own. She'd guess the person was tall or heavy by the size of the indents.

Han: "could we check on orc and tiefling witch? maybe tell them what we found? they probably arent only people who fit this print but i have weird feeling about this" Plum: "i was thinking that too, i kinda wanted to know if they knew anything more about the people who were dying" Cimmorro: "we were already on the way to kyzer anyhow" Plum: "feel like kyzer will be more useful anyways"

Han lays the body down carefully before she begins digging the grave with reserved gusto, pulling a shovel out of her pack, as the group chatter about what to do next.

Cimmorro: cimm is doing a jasidan burial prayer or whatever and some line is like "this nameless guy took a big L but he's also pretty cringe for killing somebody and partaking in black magic so let he be judged by the red sorceress in her ruby court. peace xoxo" Finn: finn staring daggers at ur back rn Cimmorro: WHATS WRONG WITH U) Psalm: ????? WHAT ABOUT THAT)

As Cimmorro begins his prayers, after a minute or so he notices the plants nearby swaying slowly in the breeze strangely close. Finding it odd he glances closer and sees roots on the ground slowly.... moving, closer to the body as it lies on the dirt. Not too fast but enough that he can notice it.

Cimmorro: i point to it like OY, ARE U GUYS SEEING THIS shit Finn: "is that supposed to happen?" Cimmorro: "NO?!!!" Psalm: he just looks at it like o7 Rokka: "Should we be worried...?" Han: O_o Cimmorro: "YES?? GET HIM OUTTA THERE MAYBE" Han: "maybe...let plants take it........?" Cimmorro: "they're not supposed to?!?" Finn: "well im sure cimmorros goddess knows what shes doing. i think we should just leave her to it. lets go see kyzer" Rokka: "UHH... UHH..????!?" Cimmorro: "THAT'S NOT HER!!!?" cimm thinking about pushing finn into the hole again Finn: "you sure?" Cimmorro: "are you actually fucking trying me right now" Finn: "peace, cimmorro" he holds his hands up lazily and watches the others snatch the body

Psalm: Psalm against his better judgement tries to grab the body(?) Han: han joins in grabbing the body like weeeeh Rokka: Rokka grabs also out of panic lol

The three pick the body up easily enough together, the roots continue moving slowly closer but as they get underneath his body in the air they stop, writhing in place slowly.

Psalm: "Hmm.. don't like that very much." Rokka: "I'm scared" he whispers to psalm and han Han: "me tooo.. just let nature have it... i dont want to piss off grass or whatever...." 😩😩😩😩 Rokka: "What if it's the cult ppl?" Han: "..................." han has no response to that shes just frowning deeply Rokka: His eyes brows furrow even more like no don't agree with me ur supposed to tell me it's ok Han: IM SORRY BRO Plum: LMAO

Psalm eyes the roots trying to guess if there any sort of higher power at play here but feels nothing of the sort. He might guess the plantlife relates to Ehlonna but they haven't seen any worship of her around anywhere. He guesses if this is magic its not related to any higher power at the very least.

Cimmorro observes them alongside him, the longer he stares the more they seem to amass themselves as if patiently waiting. Strangely the ends of small vines begin to slowly start popping themselves out of the dirt as well.

Psalm: "Of all the shit I've seen tonight I think that was the oddest yeah. What usually happens when you pray like that?" Cimmorro: "nothing. it's supposed to be peaceful. there’s vines now...” Han: "ummm... what if earth around here is enchanted somehow?" Psalm: "Try lying down and see if that happens to you then." Han: "i dont want to" 😂 Finn: "... and if i try hacking away at the vines with my sword? or am i gonna piss some deity off?" he rolls his eyes Psalm: "No deity involved here I think so you can avoid that at least." Plum: "i thought it was some kind of security measure associated with the corpse" Finn: finn whips his head around to you like OOO:whoaaa plum is so smart... Plum: [feeling finn staring at me] like when sparkles bounce off of an anime character

Psalm wordlessly lays himself down on the floor and patiently waits... the plants seem to ignore him, but the sensation of laying down is nice enough.

Han: "cimmmmmMM! what now?!" Cimmorro: "i.. i don't know. um. the entire island seem to be enchanted one way or another so this shouldn't come as a surprise but..." he nervously looks around the field and then just being in shock+ concern watching psalm lie down there kJGFAKG Psalm: He sits up, "What is it about the body that makes it only react to it though..." 🤔 Rokka: "Guys I'm REALLY scared! DO WE DROP THE BODY OR WHAT!?" Psalm: "Don't drop the body." Rokka: pleadingcrying "ok"

Growing impatient, Finn strikes at the vines with his rapier, it poses no real challenge. As he slices through a few of them a liquid comes spurting out of it. he quickly recognises it as blood. As soon as he cuts them away however a few begin growing back in its place.

Finn: “augh! i could stand here hacking away at them all night like a peasant! its no use" he scoffs and sheathes his blade Psalm: "If they want to get rid of it that means that it has some worth." Finn: “...do you think the bloods enchanted?" Cimmorro: cimm looks straight up aggravated at you abt what happened earlier but he still responds "surely enough, because plants shouldn't be moving like that on their own" Finn: "so i shouldn't be trying it, i assume?" Vinny: vinny gives you a strange look at that Finn: he looks at you like this 🤨 mind your own business Keva: "it's that witch's blood, or someone in his coven. suppose it's up to you if you want to try it." Psalm: "I think you should try it if you're curious (lol) Don't really see the harm in it personally." Cimmorro: "...............i don't want to have to make a report to your uncle about how you died to sucking on some blood roots" Finn: "it wont be a lot... just a drop... that should be fine, right?" Cimmorro: "you're asking ME for permission?" Plum: "i don't really think it'll do anything personally" Finn: "not permission.." he clicks his tongue "i would merely...regret it if i became a burden unexpectedly" Cimmorro: "that sounds like you're asking for permission anyway." Finn: he glares at you, total contradiction to his words "youre here for a reason, yes? why shouldnt i consult with you if we're investigating together?" Cimmorro: "that's interesting since you didn't have any faith in me not too long ago"

As they babble amongst each other, Keva quickly mentions that she's going to return the frog to the pond while they're still nearby, and that she'll be right back, starting off on her trek.

Han: "aaaaah wait we should thank it at least, ALSO IT BAD PRACTICE TO SPLIT.." she tries to pass the body off to rokka Q_Q Plum: “i dont think splitting up at all is a good idea" Rokka: "WH-H OH!" He reluctantly takes the body crying Han: "im sorryyyyyy ill be right back" T_T Psalm: "Finn just drink the blood if you're so curious so we can all go return the frog and be on our way." Han: im writing "THANKS FOR HELP" in the book n running after

Finn finally crouches down giving the blood a lick, strangely enough it tastes as if he were drinking from a living being, there's some sort of essence here. A person even. He shakes his head to dispel the sensation, but he ascertains that it tastes pretty good.

In the meanwhile Han and Keva hobble over quick with the frog within view of the others next to Ronaldo’s shack. As Keva plops the bucket down he hops out easily enough, croaking happily as the others in the pond pay it notice and croak back. As Han shows it the writing the frog gives her a lazy look and wiggles slightly, letting out a long low croak.

Keva: keva says softly, "bye then, take care" to the frogs before dumping out the bucket and leaving it at the edge of the pond Han: "yaaaaay" TwT han skips back :) one skip waits for keva another skip waits for keva Keva: keva kinda laughs and says "just go, i'll catch up just fine" Han: "i said, splitting up bad" Keva: "i won't be that far behind" Han: han shakes her head n smiles, waiting patiently each time

Finn: "its like... a persons" is all he decides to share, hes not sure how he feels about it Psalm: “That's kind of gross. But at least it's harmless." Rokka: "Plesse don't tell me that.."

Finn moves to cut off a section of the vine, watching blood seep from either end, turning it around and sucking from it like a straw for a bit of sustenance. He finds the taste appealing. Vinny makes a brief horrified face but looks away unsure like he's doubting if this is actually normal. Finn turns back to face the others when hes done, his teeth and chin stained red.

Rokka: "Are we taking the body with us now..." 😭😭 Finn: "for now, yes.... i suppose" Rokka: 🙁 Cimmorro: "we could keep him in his underground base thing, he seemed undisturbed there?" Rokka: "What if the vines go sneaking in?" Cimmorro: "nevermind i forgot the walls are still dirt" Plum: "i think we should follow these vines. i feel like they're just there to prevent the body being moved since they haven't tried to grab him now that his corpse isn't moving, unless you think someone's trying to retrieve his body using them right now?" Rokka: "I'm worried someone is trying to take it, yes." Plum: "oh okay i see, i was thinking that the vines were just waiting for the body to be moved but it's more like someone is trying to clean up this very moment.i don't like that" Rokka: “agreed!” Finn: "moving it back underground is probably the simplest solution. you guys said we wouldn't want the locals to find out, and the perpetrator will know one way or another regardless.." Psalm: "We could always have Cimmorro question him later though." Finn: "... how do you want to bring the body aboard the airship, psalm?" Psalm: "I mean later as in before we board the airship. We have almost a whole day before it leaves." Finn: "cant you do this right now?" Cimmorro: "unfortunately, i can't" Plum: "i think then that we should make a move with this body before whoever is trying to retrieve it realizes something is up"

Han and Keva arrive back from their brief trek to rejoin the conversation. Rokka briefly tries moving around with the body to see if the vines follow him, they do. Though the move slower than he walks.

Rokka: More crying whimper noises from Mr rokka! Han: "u guys are still here huh" :_) Finn: "what if we're seen with it? well, actually, more like, do you want to go talk to kyzer like this?" he wipes his chin w the inside of his cape and tilts his head Plum: "what difference does it make? we're probably gonna have to go kill him anyways" plum is genuinely asking and not being sarcastic Finn: finn snorts at this and looks at the rest of the party to see if they agree on walking around w it now Han: "WHATS THE PLAN" Cimmorro: "i don't really see any other option, we should move before he realizes his roots aren't retrieving anything still" Rokka: "ITS FOLLOWING ME" Han: han is like aiiii n goes to help rokka again Rokka: He thank her while sniffling Cimmorro: "we could have finn eat it if it gets too close i suppose -_-" Finn: finn briefly glances at you but doesnt say anything Plum: "i think we should either let the vines take the body and follow that, or just follow the roots?" Psalm: "I more or less agree with Plum although I'd love to avoid killing anyone if at all possible. Since Cimmorro can't converse with the dead at the moment." Finn: "how very noble of you.." he sounds somewhat amused Psalm: "It's harder to question them if they're dead." Finn: "it should be fairly easy if we have the upper hand. we can always end his life after that... not to mention that we vastly outnumber him" Han: "shall we just carry body......? i can just wrap it up???" Cimmorro: "yeah i think we could" Psalm: "I think we should follow the roots though, rather than chance losing the body." Finn: "i agree with that. lets get a move on." Psalm: "I'm just hoping they're not as tight-lipped as the last cultists we met." 🤔

Han walks a good few strides away from the roots in the ground before laying the body down and quickly fashioning a papoose from an old bedroll, tying the body to her back securely. She does her best to tie it so that it doesn't immediately appear to look like a dead body.

Han: “this is gross. lets go”

The party make their way back over to Kyzer’s small shack walking quickly, trekking through the muck as the roots slowly follow after them. They reach the precipice of the small path through the trees that lead through the dark to his clearing, they chance a glance back and note that they've outwalked the roots for the moment, though they’ve no doubt they're still making their way over.

youtube

> 🎵 Peat Fields / Roadwarden OST

They enter the small clearing again, spotting the lush greenery in front of them. There is no Kyzer in sight, just the strange tilled plants and his shack up the cobbled steps.

Rokka, Han and Psalm perk up their ears and peer around keenly in the dark. They quickly pick up sounds coming from inside the shack, the sounds of items being moved and shoved around, clinking glasses and wood being slid. Keva and Finn glance at the plants in front of them and note they seem slightly different than when you came here last. But they cant place why, one of them seems to flow in the wind in their direction, but it doesnt move any further.

Han: whispering "i think we should... sneak to cabin window and prepare for fight" Psalm: "We'll he's definitely home." Psalm: "I think maybe Han should stay outside since she has the body." Finn: "what happened to questioning him?" Han: "i said PREPARE. we can question him first but getting closer look first" Rokka: "This trip sucks..." Finn: "surely he'll feel like chatting if we spy on him" Psalm: "Yeah I don't think that's the best idea here Han..." Han: "we need to know whats going on inside. i just hear furniture getting moved" raises an eyebrow at him Psalm: "A few of us should go inside I think to question him, and when that inevitably goes to shit because these cultists don't like to say anything the rest can follow." Han: "this sounds fair, i will go to window"

As they talk Keva eyes the plant pointing towards them and makes to grab it, but before she can rip it out something about its beauty distracts her. She stares at the plant as it sits in her hand, before slowly stroking the stem. She feels her body grow sluggish the longer she stares at it, it truly is beautiful.

She notices a small pattern begin to emerge in the petals of a flower on it, it slowly forms into the shape of an eye looking back at her. She stares at it a little confused, but still enraptured by its look.

Finn: "he seems to be fond of me, i volunteer to accompany you" Psalm: "I think it's because he can tell you don't like him..." Rokka: "Who goes and who stays?" Psalm: "Well Finn and I for sure since we have suggestion type magic..." Finn: "i think psalm should go in any case, he handled the situation quite competently last time" Psalm: o7 "Thanks(?)" Finn: "maybe a third person? it is a shack.. no need to bring too many people" Psalm: he turns like "Alright anyone else want to come?" Finn: "if not, the two of us shall suffice" Psalm: "Agreed, although I think Cimmorro should stay outside too."

As Han tries to huddle the group to relay the plan she notices Keva staring at the plants.

Han: "we can hear noises inside, i think some of us should hang around window- keva? you alright?" waves hand to her.. Keva: keva tilts her head slowly to one side in that classic enraptured state, in a sort of slower, dazed way she says, "yeah..... why wouldn't i be?" and then after a pause "the flowers here are lovely" not taking her eyes off the plant Rokka: "The thing that's trying to take the body? Are u sure?" Cimmorro: cimm grimacing "i think you should put that down" Keva: "but why...?" Cimmorro: "it's.... nicer to let it be--" Han: i slap her Cimmorro: HELP) Rokka: hes like WHOAH

As the group deal with Keva Plum goes to eyeball the plants she so taken by. After a few seconds they recognise them as something called 'maiden's kiss' a strain of flower that enrapture its viewers into observing them for long stretches of time. They typically force a person to slow down by captivating their senses, making them walk and act very sluggishly. This one also has some strange patterning on it however, they're not to familiar with that.

Han: and then i immediately back away like 3 steps going "sorry sorry sorry please dont kill me" Plum: "were these always out here???? stop looking at that" moves to slap keva's hand away but han is already slapping her

As Plum moves to slap keva's hand their gaze is also quickly stolen. They really are pretty... they get why people get lost loking at them, their body becomes sluggish and their eyes droop a little as they watch them, questions pettering out. In contrast the slap makes Keva blink as she wakes up a little.

Finn: "then let us be off while everyone.... takes care of keva? " he sounds very unsure Psalm: "Wait hold on..." just watching this happen like yall. Finn: he nods Han: han peeking from behind her boxing stance "sorryyyyy.. did it work?" Keva: she says "OWW!" after being slapped efjefkjgr touching her cheek she looks at han like wtf...???? Han: "back with us?" still holding her hands up Keva: "...yeah, i, guess?" keva's rubbing her cheek and lightly slapping her other one to wake herself up more, muttering "what the fuck" to herself... Han: han is slightly worried that keva isnt attacking her but atleast she seems back to herself

As the two women talk Cimmorro tries to block Plum’s line of sight with a journal but Plum just starts crouching and pushing it out of the way annoyed by the inconvenience.

Cimmorro: "please i don't wanna slap you cryingpleadingemoji" Keva: seeing plum looking at the same flower she's going to pinch them on the back of hte arm or smth

Despite the pinching Plum remains transfixed, annoyed that now Keva is trying to stop them from looking at the flowers.

Psalm: "Ok I think they have it covered out here probably, lets just go." Finn: "lets be sure to not stare at his plants too hard, i suppose?" he mumbles to psalm Psalm: "They're kind of creepy, won't be that hard." Finn: he nods "psalm and i will be heading in to talk to our good friend kyzer... stay alert" Han: "let us get in position at same time at least"

Before they can move on however, right after Finn announces that they’ll begin walking towards the shack, they hear at the other end of the clearing the door swing open. The man himself strolls out with a cheery grin on his face.

Kyzer: spotting you all he gives you a cheery wave before shouting "i'd stay there if i were you!" Han: han just goes fuuuuuuuuuuck under her breathe, bow out Psalm: just like "Yeah, should've seen that coming to be honest." Finn: finn makes the face they make in soul eater when excalibur is on screen Rokka: Rokka freeze like stone Cimmorro: WAKE UP PLUM WE'RE FUCKING UNDER ATTACK

Psalm: "Can't we talk this out? 🫣 " Finn: finn gives a little wave back "how come? not feeling hospitable?"

Cimmorro: im gonna start shaking plum fr

Kyzer: he laughs a little "mmmhmm my plants have gotten a little strange lately, just giving you some fair warning. i wouldn't recommend trudging through them." he walks closer to the steps and spins his staff a little in his good hand before setting it down. after a pause he looks at you han "should i question why a corpse is being brought to my doorstep?" Han: "youre fucking nosy arent ya!!" Finn: "how nice of you to come out to talk to us then-" he looks at han flabbergasted Keva: she faces kyzer and steps in front of cimm and plum just in case Kyzer: he makes a put upon face and taps his chest then laughs like he cant keep a straight face "says the person walking into a secret hideaway?" Finn: "howd you know we were there.." finn mumbles out loud until he. looks at kyzer and remembers. right. this guy was molding himself w plants.

Han gives Kyzer a look over, attempting to see if he remembers them or not. She notices he's talking a little different, his drawl is almost nonexistent now. Though is hard to tell if he doesn’t know them yet. Behind her Cimmorro finally shakes Plum awake again, they feel their energy return. Though Cimmorro continue shaking them unaware.

Han: to the group "i dont think thats same kyzer we met" Keva: “as we thought then” Rokka: “I don’t like that” Finn: "no i think that slimey attitude perfectly checks out" he clicks his tongue Han: "his accent is gone, idiot" Finn: “oh.” Psalm: @ finn and han "What difference does it even make at this point honestly." sighs Finn: "well... its personal, for me 🤨 " Psalm: "Why do I get the feeling you'd almost rather it be the one we met first..." Finn: "because youd be right" Psalm: psalm just snorts bc finn is actually insane Han: whispering "why are you like this, they were perfectly nice, and other choice is more blood cult people" Finn: "he touched me and had that awful attitude. id prefer to kill that one" he drops it as if thats completely normal to say “fighting the cultists could be thrilling but with the same appearance [as kyzer] its a little lackluster" Keva: "get over yourself, we're here on your uncle's fucking business" keva says in a rushed whisper Finn: "i was behaving back then as it happened! mind your business" he snaps back Keva: "fine, if you want to let your ego get in the way of getting the job done" Finn: "im not even doing anything right now! why are you chastising me when han was more hostile than i?" Keva: "just shut up and focus!" Finn: "typical" he sneers and rolls his eyes

Plum: "uhhh?" Cimmorro: cimm still shaking plum until he wincees and pulls his hand back about to do something drastic like slap them until the last second they speak up LKFASDF;l "oh.. oooh you're back to us!!" and he's like this mostly relieved he doesnt have to slap you

Plum: looking at cimm weirdly but blushing slighty, confused. "anyways what was i saying? be careful of the plants around here 👆 "

Han: "what, you dont recognize us? im pretty sure you can see in this dark" Kyzer(?): he swings his staff idly behind his head resting on his shoulders with a smile "i'm just not fond of visitors this late" Han: "well we were pretty late last we visited" trying to bait him into any kind of reaction for insight check Kyzer(?): he hmms to himself "you're lucky i didn't get grumpy at you then, this is me giving you a warning now" his eyes drift back to the papoose "find him in a tree?" Rokka: "YEAH WE JUST WANT TO TALK!" Rokka steps up just enough to show himself with his hands raised Kyzer(?): as you step forward he pauses and blinks before tapping his foot "is that so?" Psalm: "We had a somewhat fruitful investigation, you know, about what we brought up before." Han: han is like oh thank god psalms talking inside

Han gets the feeling he’s fucking with them, but he was also kind of doing that the last time they spoke as well. He seems more impatient in any case, like hes trying to frustrate them.

Kyzer(?): he glances towards you "and the results are?" Psalm: "Not an expert by any means, but he's definitely dead 😃 " Kyzer(?): he smiles "sounds unfortunate, why's he on her back?" Psalm: "She's the strongest." Rokka: "YES! SO NO MORE PLANT WARNINGS YEAH?" he looks down wondering if he should try to take another step but deciding against it Psalm: "Would you rather we put him down?" Kyzer(?): he shrugs "as long as you dont leave him here i dont have a preference really" he keeps staring at it before turning to rokka "plant warning?" Rokka: He points at the plants and vines Kyzer(?): he looks over "ahhh...those. i dont have much control at the moment, they're acting a little pouty" he shrugs and smirks "' 's why i suggest staying back there"

Psalm eyes him, getting a sense he really doesn’t care what they do with the man. More perplexed why it’s even here.

Psalm: "Nah we kind of need him, since we're going to take him back with us to question the body. However if we put him down for too long I noticed something strange happens involving your plants. Maybe you could enlighten me?" Kyzer(?): he turns and eyes you strangely "involving my plants?" Psalm: "Whenever we put him down your vines start to attack him, for lack of a better word." Kyzer(?): he slips his staff back to the floor thinking to himself "attack him?" he glances at the ground then briefly at his own body before eyeing you again "you said attack?" Psalm: "Yes? I'm sorry is something wrong?" Kyzer(?): he's appears curious about this, he doesn't understand it. he's doing some sort of mental math in his head about something and you feel as if he doesn't like it. he stares at you again before shaking his head "'its strange is all, they shouldn't have much interest in random bodies" he smiles again "like i said, feeling pouty tonight" Psalm: "I'm not sure pouty is how I would describe it." Han: han curses in all languages she knows internally that we dont have any kind of signal and no one would understand hers Kyzer(?): he laughs "no? they've all got their own personalities. moody just like people really" Psalm: "So them following a dead body around is being moody." Kyzer(?): he waves his hand around idly with the staff "im just implying i dont have full control over them right now, so they may be acting out" he chuckles again "for what reason, i cant say"

Cimmorro: "no interest in random ones, you say. but would that mean they may have something they're specifically looking for?" Psalm: "Like the blood maybe?" Kyzer(?): he stares again "could be. corpses should have them in spades id think" Cimmorro: "if they want blood, i'd assume they'd prefer something alive and pumping... not something that already bled out?" Kyzer(?): he smiles "did they seem that aggresive to you?" Cimmorro: "not at all no.." why are u smiling at me im scared Kyzer(?): "how could they kill something alive then?" Cimmorro: "fair enough... much like your average plant looking for water in the soil... although, that doesn't really help clarify what you said about how they shouldn't have interest in random bodies and being moody--- like, if they're source of food then, they'd want it... it is a regular thing, no?" Kyzer(?): he shrugs "a sound theory" Cimmorro: 🤨

Psalm: ok as quietly as possible so kyzer can't hear me psalm's just gonna be like "Can you charm this guy please." Finn: "hes too far away... i cant do it from here" Psalm: "Shit, neither can I."

Cimmorro: "..." cimm sighs "let me ask one more thing, i'm so curious, what causes them to be, quote unquote, moody?" Keva: as cimm says that i'm going to try to discreetly shift in kyzer's direction a little more, trying to test the idea that his plants aren't under his control Kyzer(?): he thinks to himself with a hmm "changes to their environment, things in the air" he glances over at the body again then grins back at you "maybe theyre feeling a little upset about something, you go bullying them?" Cimmorro: "well if i have, it certainly wasn't intentional. i don't recall offending any plantlife on my way here" Kyzer(?): "yet theyre following you around....i'd do the math there buddy" Cimmorro: "maybe they just like me 😳 it's not often you see someone this good looking around these parts" Kyzer(?): he snorts and shakes his head a little "if you think so Plum: "speaking of plant life, what's with the pattern you have going on with these?" Kyzer(?): he looks at you then down at the plot with a smile "they keep an eye out for me" Plum: "literally i guess," plum mutters. then they say "how'd you get them to be like that?" Kyzer(?): he wiggles the finger on his good hand "experimentation" Plum: "c'mon don't be like that, i'm genuinely curious. i've been really wanting to know if those vines only had that one purpose you told us about earlier." Kyzer(?): he huffs a little under his breath before tapping his foot "ask me in the morning then, when i've had my beauty sleep"

Psalm: "One last question, would you mind coming over and taking a look at this body?" Kyzer(?): he squints at you and shrugs "i'd rather head back inside if its all the same to you, im not a coroner" Psalm: "It is not all the same, which is why I asked." Kyzer(?): he rolls his eyes "take it as no then" Psalm: "We'll bring him to you then." motions at Han like come w/ me Han: han has been gritting her teeth so hard but releases at this n hops over han looks down at psalm so that kyzer cant read her lips "whats your idea here?!" Kyzer(?): as soon as you start walking forward he slams the cane down onto the stones and yells louder than before gritting his teeth "i'll give you ooooone more chance here, walk away while im still feeling civil alright?" Han: "god, fuck this" han draws her bow at him "ARE YOU KYZER OR THEYORDS FLUNKY" Finn: "WERENT YOU THE ONE WHO TOLD ME HIS ACCENTS GONE?" Han: "I WANT CONFIRMATION, I DONT LIKE KILLING PEOPLE FOR NO GOOD REASON" Finn: "WE HAD EVERY GOOD REASON TO DO SO" Han: "YOUR REASON IS STUPID!!!!!!! I DONT EVEN GET WHAT HE DID TO PISS YOU OFF" Finn: "HE TOUCHED ME!!!! BUT THAT ASIDE BEING THEYORDS BODY HOPPING LACKEY SHOULD BE REASON ENOUGH, NO?" Han: "GOOD FUCK, DO U WANT TO KILL ANYONE WHO PASSES YOU ON STREET AND BUMPS INTO YOU???? AND I SAID, I DONT WANT TO HURT ACTUAL REAL KYZER"

Kyzer(?): his face twitches "DO NOT COMPARE ME TO THAT - ARGH!" he slaps his hand to his face as he watches the two of you argue with the most put upon resignation "i give up, people are simply too stupid, despite the best guidance" he flicks his staff out again and you see a bright green glow fire off. Psalm: "Finally, playing dumb was starting to get annoying.YOUR PERFORMANCE WAS SHIT" Finn: "YOU WERE AWFUL AS KYZER" <- fell for the performance but hes doing this bc psalm did it

With a swish of air the party feel the bushes behind them start crowding shut the entrance from which they came as the man across the way talks almost to himself.

Kyzer(?): "so be it, you'll feed the earth since it seems to shouting for it. maybe then they'll behave appropriately"

> 🎵 Leshy's Theme / Inscryption OST

The party ready themselves for combat as Han fires off a quick Hunter’s Mark on Kyzer across the way. As he sees tensions finally burst, Vinny nervously rushes off to the right before casting dancing light to illuminate the dark for the rest of the party.

Vinny: "I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT WERE DOING" trying to not trip over his own feet

As he scuttles off Kyzer steps back and taps his cane on the stone three times as if annoyed, as he does the party feel a rumble under the ground. Groups of scarecrows spring up from beneath the earth covered in dirt and roots, they start cackling into the night air, he takes a few more steps back and waits as they begin hopping about, malice in their eyes.

Keva quick pulls out an arrow aiming for the scarewcrow closest to her, the arrow skewers its chest it lets out a shriek before cackling loudly again shifting from side to side. She huffs before following after Vinny.

Rokka follows after, entering a rage and running towards the scarecrow in the flower patch ready to strike, but as he runs through he’s distracted by their beauty. He slows down, before coming to a stop, feeling sluggish and dazed. Unable to bring his eyes away from his surroundings.

Rokka: "RAAAAAOOOoooohhhh.....pretty....haha"

As he slows another scarecrow jumps through the dirt towards Vinny before slashing at him with its metal claws, he cries out witha yelp. It lets out a shriek and cackle before jumping back again, though not before Keva can dig her dagger through it, it laughs all the while.

Another scarecrow in the distance hops a little to the side, before sniggering in an ugly tone, it shoots an ugly glare over towards Keva while cackling in the dark attempting something. Though she shakes her head shrugging off the effects.

Han follows up quickly letting off a few arrows to blind Kyzer, and then another at a scarecrow. He lets out a shout as she nails him, the bright flash makes him crouch and rub at his eyes irritated while gritting his teeth.

Han: "kyzer blinded, but does anyone have fire?!" Plum: "i have a flame spell!" Han: "think we have to get rid of these flowers..!"

Finn quickly follows after, jumping up and transforming into a bat with a flash of light and smoke, he begins to soar over the plants directly towards Kyzer. As he goes the scarecrow in front of Rokka hops over with a laugh, taking two swipes at him with its metal claws. Though the pain hurts its enough to wake him up from his slowed stupor.

Rokka: "HUH WH OW HEY!" Cimmorro: "GET OUT OF THERE!!" Rokka: Yelling with his eyes closed "UH OKAY"

Anxiously shouting at Rokka, Cimmorro turns and throws a shield of faith at Vinny before trying to speak to the rest of the party.

Cimmorro: "i can extinguish about 30ft of fire if you want to try to close the gap between us and this cunt, also, WHAT'S THE PLAN HERE, I ASSUME WE WANT HIM ALIVE FOR QUESTIONING" Plum: "well if he's dead it won't matter bc we can still talk to him?" also thumbs up at the fire Cimmorro: "are you referring to speak with dead? you need to understand that it's also limited" Psalm: "It might be easier if he's alive in that case." Plum: plum makes an o shape w their mouth like ok Psalm: "I'm going to try to charm him. I just need to get close." Cimmorro: "how close do you need to be" Psalm: "Within 30ft." Cimmorro: cimm gives you a nod Han: "we could go for knocking him out?? pacifying him? maybe we can figure out how to push other guy out of kyzers body??" Cimmorro: "right so we're not killing? all agree then? right? okay? good" Keva: keva nods from where she is Han: han nods and says louder "finn! knock out!" Finn: finn chirps in acknowledgement but idk if han hears it...!

Cimmorro runs hurriedly over in the same direction as Keva and Vinny as Psalm steps forward to let off an agonising blast at the scarecrow accosting Rokka. He blasts through it, sending a good chunk of it flying, it makes a weird sound but hops around as if excited.

Another scarewcrow standing near Kyzer wiggles around excitedly in the distance as it sees Finn flying over, it hops back like its trying to catch him. Though it is largely unsuccessful. Plum quickly casts a flaming sphere in the field near Rokka, careful to tell him not to get too close to it.

At the end of the round a final scarewcrow hops around tauntingly at them all in the distance, cackling away it it moves through the fields ominously.... the fight continues.

just a glimpse

today, i finally had a little taste of what life might be like once this is over. i had just a glimpse of who i might be after its all said and done with. just a little tiny bit at a time its getting easier. each passing day just hurts slightly less than the previous. today i did a couple hours worth of yard work, something about it just feels so rewarding. then i went and got my check from my job that i no call no showed at which im proud of myself for doing, i thought i was gonna be too anxious to go through with showing my face in there. got 120 bucks though, im glad i went. i need all i can get right now, money do be kinda tight still. then i had dinner at texas roadhouse and ate so much fucking food i thought id burst. unfortunately while i was at the restaurant was probably the hardest part of my day, i had nothing but my moms company to distract me and when im with her id rather be in my head. but after i made it through that i came home and finally started stranger things season 4. my opinion so far, it seems like a totally different show. not in a bad way, its definitely cool. just definitely doesnt seem to connect to the other seasons, the flow is not as clear. maybe theyll make it all connect shit idk, im only on episode three. to end my evening ive been laying in bed practicing my ukulele and drawing, and it feels so nice to have a creative outlet. i honestly kind of hate commission work. it makes me feel pressured and constrained. my friend asked me if they could pay me to draw them a furry of themselves and i started on it but im stuck on the fucking hands and its making me so frustrated i havent touched the drawing in days. so ive been drawing other shit instead, but oh well...maybe ill get around to finishing it. when i was at the restaurant with my mom i did something i really am not proud of and have been trying to figure out why i reacted this way. they brought us 4 rolls and i had eaten two of them, precisely my half of the basket. my mom made a comment saying we needed more, and i said i was good. then she said something like , "you and samantha are always eating all of the bread and then wont ask for more." and i snapped back at her soooo fast and in a really defensive and angry tone, "I only ate two of them. thats literally half." i guess i dont like how shes always comparing me to my sister, i hate being lumped in with someone else who im nothing like. i want to be seen as my own individual, not the other version of her favorite child. i was also irritated that she was implying i ate "all of the bread" when i literally only ate my half. i just wish i had the ability to stop myself and think in situations and respond calmly and thoughtfully express my emotions instead of snapping back. at least the first step is awareness, and i know my defensiveness is something i need to work on. blame the aries in me, i guess. not saying thats an excuse but...could be an explanation. ive always had so much anger and frustration that it comes out at the slightest inconvenience. i dont know why im so angry. i guess i feel hurt by the world, resentful of my situation. i need to stop feeling and treating myself like a victim. ive always been so angry, that my parents sucked, that i got a chronic disease, that im not straight or cis, that i cant think or feel like neurotypical people. im so angry that ive always had to be an outsider. its not fair. i want to be accepted. why wont they accept me? havent i been through enough? i guess its never enough until you learn your lesson to get off your ass and stop pitying yourself. no one else is going to take care of me so i better suck it the fuck up and do it my god damn self. and i better make it fucking worth it.
